Ohio State Has Complicated History With Purdue In Recent Years

October 20, 2018 is a day that a lot of Buckeye fans won't forget for a long time.

The Buckeyes were coming into the game undefeated and No. 2 in the country into what some labeled as a "trap game," especially after the Buckeyes were curb-stomped in a similar situation against Iowa the year prior.

It turned out to be exactly that. Rondale Moore caught 12 passes for 170 yards and two touchdowns, while Purdue running back D.J. Knox scored three more times, and the Boilermakers obliterated the Buckeyes 49-20.

The game would be the Buckeyes sole blemish in what turned out to be Urban Meyer's last season at the helm, as Ohio State was left out of the College Football Playoff and instead went to the Rose Bowl, where they defeated Washington.
