Olentangy Offerings

1) Yes, Ohio State notched the shutout against Purdue but they were fortunate enough to have Purdue miss two field goal attempts,one of those tries from a mere twenty-one yards.

2) Jeremiah Smith's touchdown catch was his eighth of the season, which gives Smith the record for freshmen at Ohio State, previously held by Cris Carter.

3) Caden Curry's block of a first-quarter Boilermaker punt led to the first score of the game.

Ohio State hadn't blocked a punt since 2022.

4) The Buckeyes were able to have Devin Brown and Julian Sayin take a few snaps in the big victory but neither of the two completed a pass in their time in the game.

5) TreVeyon Henderson was the standout in the running game as Henderson finished with eighty-five yards on only six carries including a touchdown,

Henderson also caught three passes, including a thirty-two-yard gain.

This is shorter than usual as I didn't watch as closely as usual due to work issues...
