The Buckeyes return home to take on the Boilermakers.
Wake up, everyone. It’s Ohio State game day!
After a thrilling victory against Penn State on the road last weekend, Ohio State returns home to take on a Purdue team on the very opposite end of the spectrum. While the Buckeyes are trending in the positive direction now at 7-1, the Boilermakers sit at just 1-7 on the season, having lost each of their last seven contests. Ryan Day and his team still can't afford to take Ryan Walters’ group lightly, however, as the ‘Spoilermakers’ have a history of making things interesting against the scarlet and gray.
Over the past week, our talented group of writers and podcasters have put together preview pieces, analytical breakdowns, and everything in-between.
If you missed out on any of the coverage, we have you... well, covered. Below, each type of story is categorized. If you’re looking for podcasts and previews we’ve done, you can find them; if you’re looking for the betting lines and non-football topics, they are there, too.
Enjoy the day everyone. As always, Go Bucks!

Moment of the Game: Ransom’s massive hit proves his health and defensive aggression

Adam Cairns/Columbus Dispatch / USA TODAY NETWORK
Oh yeah, and Jeremiah Smith broke two program records too.
The easy pick here for the moment of the game is Jeremiah Smith surpassing Cris Carter’s freshmen receptions record and his freshman touchdowns record, but I’ve picked a lot of J.J. Smith plays for this column already this season (also, the video for the record-breaking touchdown is below).
So, I went with a play that not only shows a shift in Ohio State’s defensive aggression in recent weeks, but also confirms that a key player on that side of the ball for the Buckeyes is clearly healthy and back to 100%.
Halfway through the second quarter with the Buckeyes up 14-0, Purdue was on the move. On 2nd-and-4 from the Boilermaker 43, Texas transfer quarterback Hudson Card kept the ball and ran to the right, aiming to pick up the first down. However, a missile was fired from the back of the defense and absolutely blew him up.
When Card decided to keep the ball on what appeared to be a zone read, safety Lathan Ransom was roughly 20 yards away from him as the deepest man on defense. But, he read the play from deep in the secondary and made a B-line for the ball carrier.
While Card had to avoid some other Buckeye rushers, Ransom closed 15 yards in the same amount of time that the QB ran seven. When they met at the Purdue 46-yard line, Ransom delivered a massive hit that dislodged the ball and stopped Card short of the line to gain.
One of the knocks on the Buckeyes coming out of the loss to Oregon in Eugene was that they just weren’t aggressive enough on defense to force Dillon Gabriel and the Ducks’ offense into difficult situations.
Since then, we have started to see some more creativity up front with stunts and blitzes from different positions, and it has been marginally effective. A lot of that focus has been on the defensive line and whether or not they are actually able to hit the quarterback — OSU had four sacks and five tackles for loss against Purdue. But, it seems to me that this aggressive mindset has begun to permeate the entire defense, and Ransom’s closing speed and bone-shaking hit prove it.
Ransom was injured against Oregon and didn’t play against Nebraska coming out of the subsequent bye week. The safety has been no stranger to injuries in his time as a Buckeye. He broke his leg in the 2022 Rose Bowl and missed the final five games of last season with a foot injury.
So any time he has to miss snaps, let alone games, should cause fans to be a little apprehensive. But, based on a solid performance against Penn State and an even more impressive one against Purdue, I think that it’s safe to say that Lathna Ransom is as healthy as one can be heading into the final three games of the regular season.
Even though the stop didn’t result in an immediate punt or turnover on downs, the electric hit continued to give the Buckeye defense life. Ransom added a third-quarter interception to go along with four tackles; really solid day for one of the most important players on the OSU roster.
As promised, here is the history-making touchdown catch for Jeremiah Smith.

Not gonna lie, this one surprised me more than a little bit. As I look across the landscape of college football, I don’t see any great teams. I see a bunch of good, but flawed teams. Coincidentally, that is also how I see the Buckeyes, but when I stack their “goodness” next to the “goodness” of other teams, I think that Ohio State comes out considerably further ahead in nearly every case.
I think the same is true for their weaknesses. No doubt that the OSU offensive line has been a point of concern for the past two seasons, and while I’m certainly not saying that it has all of a sudden become an elite unit based on one game, I do think that it is substantially better than it was just a few weeks ago.
By combining two seasoned starters on the rebuilt left side of the line with a more creative call sheet from Chip Kelly, I do believe that the offensive line has gone from a negative to at least a push, and — with two games against sub-par competition before the stretch run — has the chance to become a positive.
If that happens, I think that it becomes increasingly difficult to find a team that is better than Ohio State. Obviously, the coaching staff needs to continue to up its game as well, from schemes to creativity to play calling to rotation, but their backs are against the wall, and there is no reason for them not to go for broke at this point.

Look, Purdue is bad... like 1-and-8 bad. Ohio State should be able to name its score against the Boilermakers. The only questions should be how long they keep the starters in the game and how hard they actually try to score in the second half. Ohio State Buckeyes enter the game as a 37.5-point favorite and the gold-standard college football analytics model projects SP+ has the Buckeyes to win by a score of 47-5.
You can check out the predictions of a handful of Land-Grant Holy Land experts in the link above, but I am going with the Ohio State Buckeyes: 49, the Little Engines That Couldn’t: 3.

Question 1: After the Penn State win, where do you think Ohio State ends its season?
Not gonna lie, this one surprised me more than a little bit. As I look across the landscape of college football, I don’t see any great teams. I see a bunch of good, but flawed teams. Coincidentally, that is also how I see the Buckeyes, but when I stack their “goodness” next to the “goodness” of other teams, I think that Ohio State comes out considerably further ahead in nearly every case.

Obviously, the coaching staff needs to continue to up its game as well, from schemes to creativity to play calling to rotation, but their backs are against the wall, and there is no reason for them not to go for broke at this point.
Question 2: What will the margin of victory be in Saturday’s game against Purdue?
Look, Purdue is bad... like 1-and-8 bad. Ohio State should be able to name its score against the Boilermakers.

You’ve got a number of free trials you can choose from of various lengths and breadths.
The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes are back in action after knocking off the No. 6 Penn State Nittany Lions in Happy Valley last Saturday. This week, the Bucks will host the Purdue Boilermakers at 12 noon ET in a game airing on Fox. While the game isn’t getting the whole “Big Noon Kickoff” — that is reserved for Colorado and Texas A&M — it is OSU’s third straight noon game on Fox, with likely two more to come against the Indiana Hoosiers and Michigan Wolverines.
This season, the Buckeyes will play on three different broadcast networks (CBS, Fox, and NBC), at least one cable channel (Big Ten Network), and exclusively on a streaming service (Peacock); it can be tough to keep up with where and how to watch your favorite team.
As cord-cutting has become far more the norm than the exception across the United States, it would not be a surprise if you gave up cable or a live-streaming service following last year’s season only to realize that it’s the day of the game and you have no way to watch it.
And I know it can be incredibly confusing to find the best way to watch a game in today’s entertainment landscape. Fortunately for you, I am something of a streaming expert... no really, I write about streaming services for a living. So, I am going to walk you through the best — and cheapest — ways for you to stream today’s game.
Game Date/Time: Saturday, Nov. 9 at 12 noon ET

Betting Line: Ohio State -37.5 | 53.5 o/u
Best Streaming Option for All College Football Games:
If you’re either looking for a streaming service just for this weekend of football or to watch as much college football as possible, then Hulu + Live TV very well might be the perfect option. Everyone who signs up gets a three-day free trial, so you can watch the entire college football Saturday, NFL Sunday, and “Monday Night Football” without having to pay a single penny.
But, if you are looking for something for the whole season, then Hulu is great because it comes with ESPN+ (more on that below), so in addition to all of the channels available on the live streaming service, you also get all of the streaming-exclusive games via the worldwide leader’s platform.
Hulu + Live TV has one of the few guaranteed multi-day free trials in the industry and provides nearly all of the major cable channels on the market. The basic package comes with all of the major broadcast network channels — all of which have college football — ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC. It also has ESPN, ESPN2, Big Ten Network, FS1, FS2, ESPNU, CBS Sports Network, SEC Network, ACC Network, and the NFL Network (yes, they have college games) without having to sign up for any sports add-on plans. However, if you do want more sports, you can add NFL RedZone, MLB StrikeZone, FanDuel TV, the Tennis Channel, and more.
What’s great about Hulu + Live TV is that in addition to all of the broadcast and cable channels that you could possibly want, it also comes with the Disney Bundle for free. So, you also get the full on-demand Hulu library, Disney+, and ESPN+, which also has hundreds of college football games every season.
Currently, a subscription to Hulu + Live TV costs $82.99 per month after your three-day free trial. It is a little more expensive than some of the other options, but if you are just looking to watch this game, Hulu + Live TV is your best option.
DIRECTV STREAM: $87.99 per month five-day free trial
Sling TV: As low as $40 per month | First month 50% off
Fubo: $94.99 per month, at least a one-day free trial
YouTube TV: $72.99 per month
Below is your Ohio State vs. Purdue 2024 game thread. Be respectful, be kind and — as always — keep it classy, BuckeyeNation. If you like GIFs, lay ‘em on us. In all, be good fans, cheer for your teams, be cool to each other (even if somebody else isn’t) and everyone wins. Let’s finish the season strong!
