Before each Ohio State game, Eleven Warriors catches up with a media member who covers the opposing team to get his or her perspective on the Buckeyes' upcoming opponent.
As Ohio State prepares to head to Purdue this week, we welcome Nathan Baird, who you may recognize from his time covering the Buckeyes for Cleveland.com but now covers Purdue for IndyStar.
With the Boilermakers currently riding a seven-game losing streak, we asked Baird why Purdue hasn’t been able to win a Big Ten game since 2023 and what positives can be taken away from Barry Odom’s first season even with the Boilermakers’ 2-7 record.
