Know Thy Opponent 2021: Ohio State Buckeyes

We all remember October 20, 2018. That was one of the most fun nights in the history of Purdue football as the Boilers came out and beat the absolute brakes off of No. 2 ranked Ohio State. It wasn’t your usual unranked-over-top-5 upset, where the underdog may get out to a lead and has to hold on for dear life until the end. This was complete domination, and it looked like the turning point for Purdue football.

In retrospect, that night looks even more shocking today. Since that upset Purdue is only 8-16, beating Iowa twice, Vanderbilt, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Northwestern, and Nebraska.
