Since 2000, Ross-Ade Stadium has been a House of Horrors for Ohio State football, creating unease for Buckeye Nation each time their favorite team travels to West Lafayette.
This year, however, the gap between the Buckeyes and Boilermakers may be wider than ever before.
Ohio State arrives in Northwest Indiana with the nation’s No. 1 defense and one of college football’s most explosive passing attacks. Purdue, meanwhile, is in full rebuild mode under first-year head coach Barry Odom — mired in a seven-game losing streak and still searching for its first Big Ten win. Even the 2018 Boilermakers, who stunned Ohio State, had future second-round pick Rondale Moore leading a respectable 6–7 squad.
