Kyle McCord, playing without starting receiver Emeka Egbuka, also played well throwing for 276 yards and three touchdowns in just over three quarters of work. Marvin Harrison Jr. had another impressive day with a team-high six catches for 105 yards and one touchdown while Cade Stover added two touchdown catches in the win.

On defense, Ohio State held Purdue scoreless until the 14:30 mark of the fourth quarter. The Buckeyes held the Boilermakers to 257 yards and won the third-down battle, with Purdue finishing 3-of-17.
