Game Thread Ohio State @ Purdue - 10/20/18, 7:30PM (ABC)

Yeah I saw that and IMO it hurts both teams equally.. I think Purdue is more reliant down the field than we are so it may help us a little more than them.

We really like the throws under 15 yards and have shown we will be patient. I think they're more aggressive and impatient than us.

Run game better come to play this one

If the wind takes away the deep ball, any defense can take away the short passes and load the box.

It could be a major problem for this year's OSU offense.

Our quarterback also throws lasers and a nice spiral so wind doesn't bother me as much as it did with J.T.

just depends on severity. It's supposed to be 20+ mph at game time but dropping quickly through the night.

Holy Buckeye happened at Ross Ade with a lot of wind and a qb who usually threw a wobbly ball.

That may have been the prettiest pass that CK ever threw, and it came at the perfect time

DH has the same competitive fire, the same capacity to perform in the clutch, but with a consistently tight spiral, a faster release, a stronger arm and a metric shit-ton more accuracy.

I’m still among those that wonder if this team’s problems can be fixed between now and November 24, but if I have to take such a team to the site of the most Buckeye under-performances of the past decade, I do it with Dwayne Haskins 100 times out of 100 if you let me choose any qb I want

maybe the wind turned a duck into a spiral.

Football: Depleted Ohio State defense to be tested by Purdue



Ryan Day is never satisfied.

Even though the Ohio State offense averages 46.3 points per game and 556.9 yards of offense per game, both of which lead the Big Ten, the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach sees where the unit can improve as a whole.

“It’s a good problem to have when you are putting up that kind of production and you still don’t feel you have maxed out yet,” Day said. “I think that is a good thing though because we are still hungry. We are still trying to figure out how we can maximize everyone on the field.”

However, heading into the Buckeyes’ next game of the season, the explosiveness of the Ohio State offense will not be unique.

No. 2 Ohio State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) will face Purdue (3-3, 2-1 Big Ten) on Saturday at 7:30 p.m., the only other offense in the Big Ten that averages over 500 yards of offense per game and is No. 2 behind the Buckeyes, averaging 330.8 passing yards per game with quarterbacks completing 66.8 percent of passes.

The pass-friendly Boilermaker offense is led by a quarterback who has a lot of collegiate experience: redshirt senior David Blough. In the first six games of the season, Blough has completed 68.4 percent of his attempts for an average of 282.5 passing yards per game. Not much of a threat on the ground, he has also thrown 10 passing touchdowns with two interceptions.

Blough’s stats are helped by the fact that he has one of the more dynamic playmakers in the Big Ten to throw to.

In six games, freshman wide receiver Rondale Moore has been explosive, leading Purdue with 45 receptions, 25 more than the second-leading receiver, and 558 yards, averaging 93 yards per game.

Defensive coordinator Greg Schiano described Moore as a quick and productive receiver in the Boilermaker offense, highlighting his ability to change direction and use his speed in the open space.

With the combination of Blough and Moore, and considering redshirt senior running back D.J. Knox, who has averaged 6.2 yards per rush and averages 90 yards per game, Schiano said the Purdue offense will be a challenge in many different ways.

“Schematically, they use a ton of different personnel groups and then, schematically, they also do a lot of formations, they do a lot of trick plays,” Schiano said. “They make you dot every ‘i’ and cross every ‘t.’ That’s the kind of outfit they are.”

We just aren't a very good defense when it comes to "dotting I's and crossing T's" at this point. Ugh what I wouldn't give for a laugher this Saturday where our defense gets 6+ sacks and we win 49-13.

Sort of hard to believe that with as much man as we play that we can leave people wide open from time to time.
