Ohio State took care of business Saturday as the Buckeyes returned home and beat the Purdue Boilermakers 45-0 in the Horseshoe. Some old heroes (TreVeyon Henderson) and new heroes (Eddrick Houston) shone brightly, lots of backups played, some experimentation took place on the defensive side of the ball, and Carnell Tate continued his meteoric development in a decisive home victory.

We checked to see how our picks to click fared, looked at our score predictions, and discussed all of the game’s key plays, talking points, and players. It was good to see an Ohio State team not struggle in the follow-up to a win over Penn State.

After our game rewind, we went through the other scores from the weekend in Big Ten action. Rutgers stopped the bleeding at the expense of Minnesota, Michigan lost yet again, Indiana improved to 10-0, Penn State bounced back, Maryland gave Oregon more of a fight than expected, and who knows what to make of Iowa?

Finally, we looked ahead to Ohio State’s trip to Chicago to face Northwestern in a baseball stadium. The Wrigley Field game still doesn’t tickle our fancy, but we are a couple of old men yelling at clouds. Money grab aside, the Buckeyes have one more week to handle their business before things get more difficult against Indiana and Michigan to close the regular season. We discuss the state of the Wildcats’ offense and conclude that the OSU defense should have another good day. Plus, our picks to click and score predictions.
