Ohio State Football: Why Boilermakers could cause the Buckeyes problems

Related Topics: Purdue Boilermakers

The Ohio State football team hasn’t exactly clicked on all cylinders lately and the Purdue Boilermakers are on a three game winning streak. Will the things the Boilermakers bring to the table make this yet another challenge for the Buckeyes?

Stats from recent games indicate that could be the case.

The last three games Boilermaker quarterback David Blaugh has completed 67 percent of his passes for 1001 yards and 7 touchdowns while only throwing 1 interception. The Buckeyes have given up 836 yards through the air the last three games.

What may be even more of a concern than the numbers Blough has put up is the fact many of his passing yards have come on big plays.
