No. 3 Ohio State hosts Purdue in an important Big Ten game as the Buckeyes hope to continue their path to the College Football Playoff. The Buckeyes are fresh off a 20-13 win over Penn State and have 176 yards on the ground against a top-notch defense.

Purdue fell apart in Ryan Walters’ second season. The Boilermakers have lost all seven games against power conference competition and have only played two games within one score. Purdue gave it its best shot last week in a 26-20 overtime loss to Northwestern, but ultimately fell short.

The Buckeyes dominated this conference rivalry, going 41-15-2. However, Purdue pulled off a huge upset in 2018, going 49-20 and keeping Ohio State out of the College Football Playoff. It seems unlikely that the Boilermakers will repeat that feat at Ohio Stadium this year.

Ohio State vs. Purdue: Need to know

Star receiver: Ohio State has perhaps the most dynamic wide receiver room in the country and is among the nation’s leaders in passing offense. Freshman Jeremiah Smith ranks No. 2 in the Big Ten with 678 yards and eight touchdowns, while senior Emeka Egbuka is No. 5 with 72 yards per game and seven scores. The Buckeyes will challenge Purdue’s secondary, which has been a rare strength. This group is largely responsible for Ohio State having the second-best odds (-4000) to play in the CFP.

Offensive rework: Since the start of the season, Purdue has fired offensive coordinator Graham Harrell and backup quarterback Hudson Card, instead turning to former high school football coach Jason Simmons and freshman Ryan Browne. Results have been mixed since the move, but Purdue has played competitive games against Illinois and Northwestern since the move. The new group will try to keep the momentum going despite a brutal final schedule.

Back on track: Ohio State quarterback Will Howard was solid but played one of his most inconsistent games against Penn State. The Pennsylvania native threw a pick six on his first attempt — PSU’s only touchdown of the game — and had a bad fumble through the back of the end zone. Howard needs to find his form again against an overwhelmed opponent.

Ohio State vs Purdue Prediction, Tips

The Buckeyes are essentially able to put up a score against a miserable Purdue team and the Boilermakers have given up a lot of points. Against Notre Dame, Purdue conceded 66, the most goals the Irish have ever scored in West Lafayette. If Ohio State gets to 40, that could be enough to pull off a cover. Pick: Ohio State -37.5
