No. 1 Ohio State Visits Purdue on Saturday as Heavy Favorite

Ryan Day emphasizes routine over rankings to keep attention on improving the run game.

Overview

  • Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. ET at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette.
  • Purdue enters 2-7 overall and 0-6 in the Big Ten after seven straight losses.
  • DraftKings lists Ohio State by 29.5 points and staff predictions across outlets forecast a lopsided Buckeye victory.
  • Day says the Buckeyes will not “tempt fate” by changing their preparation and he downplays the initial College Football Playoff rankings.
  • Ohio State seeks progress on the ground after averaging 81.75 rushing yards per game, with freshman Bo Jackson leading the backfield.
