On Saturday, The Ohio State Buckeyes will play the Purdue Boilermakers for the 60th time since they started playing each other in 1919. Let's take a look at "What Happened Before."

- The Buckeyes lead the series 42-15-2 (41 wins if you take away the vacated win in 2010), with an average score of 26-14.

- The Buckeyes won the first six meetings, all by shutouts, and outscored Purdue 117-0. The Buckeyes have shut out the Boilermakers 13 times while scoring 350 points in those games, with the most recent being a 56-0 victory in 2013.

- OSU has a home record of 29-6-2 against Purdue and is 13-9 at West Lafayette.

- When OSU is ranked (*22-6-1). When Purdue is ranked (2-2). When both are ranked (4-2). When neither are ranked (beginning in 1936) (9-5-1). OSU top 5 (14-4). Purdue top 5 (0-2). Both top 5 (1-0, 1968).

- Most points scored OSU: 59 (59-31 in 2021). Largest margin of victory OSU: 56 (56-0 in 2013).

- Most points scored Purdue: 49 (49-20 in 2018) Largest margin of victory Purdue: 35 (41-6 in 1967).

- The years the Boilermakers were Spoilermakers: 1945, 1952, 1960, 1978, 1984, 2009, 2018.


Games of note:

1968: The year after the Buckeyes lost to the then #2 Boilermakes, 41-6, the Buckeyes returned the favor by upsetting #1 ranked Purdue, 13-0. After a scoreless first half, defensive back Ted Provost intercepted a Mike Phipps pass and returned it 34 yards for a Buckeye touchdown and a 6-0 lead. The Buckeyes added another 3rd quarter score and that was all she wrote. The Super Sophs went on to go 10-0 and win the national championship that year.


1984: The undefeated and #2 ranked Buckeyes traveled to West Lafayette, Indiana, to face unranked Purdue. The Boilermakers scored with 10:03 to play to go up 28-17. But the Buckeyes weren't finished quite yet. They kept fighting and scored with 2:38 to play to pull within 5 after failing on the two point conversion. The Buckeyes hold Purdue on their next possession and get the ball back on the OSU 16. After several completions, Mike Tomczak is called for intentional grounding. But the Buckeyes are able to convert a 4th and 25 with a 27 yard pass from Tomczak to Cris Carter. After weird offsetting unsportsmanlike conduct penalties that gave the Buckeyes a first and 25 at the Purdue 47, and an incompletion, Tomczak completed two passes to Keith Byars for 20 yards, giving the Buckeyes 4th and 5 with 8 seconds to play at the Purdue 27. Tomczak hurried the Buckeyes to the line and quickly threw the ball out of bounds (Spiking the ball to stop the clock wasn't a thing yet). There was only one problem. It was 4th down. Tomczak lost track of downs and threw the ball out of bounds on 4th down! To his defense, I was at that game and the down marker said 3rd down. A little bit of home cooking? Hmmmmm. Buckeyes lost 28-23.


2002: Holy Buckeye! 'Nuff said.


2012: The Kenny Guiton game. Trailing 22-14, on their own 39 with 47 seconds to play, Smooth Jazz led the Buckeyes down the field culminating with a 2 yard diving touchdown reception by Chris Fields to pull the Buckeyes within 2 with 3 seconds to play. A beautifully executed pass to Jeff Heuerman for the 2 point conversion and the Buckeyes and Boilermakers were heading to overtime. The Buckeyes scored. Purdue didn't. 29-22. Game over!!


There have been some interesting games between these two teams over the years. What do you think will happen Saturday?

Should be a very news filled offseason with Diebler in charge. I’ll post roster and coaching staff updates here so the recruiting thread can be used for portal and high school recruiting talk. Excited to see how Diebler fills out his staff as I think he needs to get at least one more recruiting ace.

THE RED SHEET
NOVEMBER 2, 2024 VOLUME 56 - NUMBER 10

ARMY 56 - Air Force 20 - (7:30 EDT) -- Line opened at Army minus 23½, and is now minus 22½. All through the years,
we could probably count on one hand the amount of times that we didn't go with the dog in military
games, which proved highly successful. And never with such a high spread. However, this time
around, there is only one way to go, with Navy's destruction of Air Force (17-pt cover) giving us the
nerve to pull the chalk lever in this meeting, as facts are facts, with the Falcons the only team in the
land without a cover, & the Cadets (#1 Rushing "O") without a single spread miss. Despite huge spot.
RATING: ARMY 89

CLEMSON 56 - Louisville 24 - (7:30) -- Line opened at Clemson minus 11, and is now minus 10½. The obvious exiting
of the Tigers from the nation's elite squadron (double digit wins over a 14-yr span, including 4-of-5 years
competing in the National Championship game) was enhanced not only with LY's 8-4 regular season,
but with TY's embarrassing 34-3 opening day loss to Georgia. All she wrote for Dabo & Co, right? Well
try 6 straight wins (4-1-1 ATS), with a 291-127 pt margin, rising to 11th in the polls. And they stand at
6-0 ATS vs the Cards, who are on an 0-5 spread run. All the incentive that Dabo needs.
RATING: CLEMSON 89

Georgia 34 - Florida 24 - (3:30 - @ Jacksonville) -- Line opened at Georgia minus 17, and is still minus 17. Only once
in the last 22 years has the spread on this classic exceeded TY's 17-pt spot, & deservedly so, with the
'Dawgs playing for the National Title 3 times over the last 7 seasons, with a current 52-3 SU record
since 2020 windup. However, no matter how legitimately fearsome they are, they've been hit a bit by
the horrid transfer portal, ranking only 41st & 19th in total "O" & "D". Gators the opposite, with 21-27
SU log since 2020, but are on a 4-0 ATS run by 61½ pts. This could be an SEC classic dog cover.
RATING: FLORIDA 88

Arizona State 38 - OKLAHOMA STATE 24 - (7:00) -- Line opened at Arizona State minus 1½, and is now minus 3. As
we mentioned on Pointwise, the most important unit on the field in this meeting has to be the defense
of the Cowboys, which ranks a surprising 132nd in the land, ahead of only one other team, namely
Kent State, even worse than such futile stop units as UtahSt, NewMexico, MissSt, etc. Not only that,
but the 'Pokes also come in at 132nd & 115th in rushing "D" & rushing "O". Not the best of foes trying
to contain the 'Devils who enter this one off a 227 RYpg run vs likes of Kansas, Utah, & Cincinnati.
RATING: ARIZONA STATE 88

North Carolina 41 - FLORIDA STATE 17 - (3:30) -- Line opened at North Carolina minus 2, and is now minus 2½. Well,
the spread monkey is finally off the backs of these Tar Heels, who snapped an incredible 0-11-1 ATS
run, with last week's 41-14 upset of a Virginia team which had covered 4 straight. Not just a cover, but
a 41-14 romper, along with a 135-7 RY edge. They should be able to keep it going against a 'Nole
squad which is currently on the ropes, with a 141-69 pt deficit in their last 4 games, while ranking
131st & 132nd in total & scoring "O". Emotional gut punch for team which ranked #10 in preseason.
RATING: NORTH CAROLINA 88

BUFFALO BILLS 34 - Miami Dolphins 20 - (1:00) -- Line opened at Buffalo minus 6, and is now minus 6½. As noted on
Pointwise, Bills' Josh Allen has finally thrown an interception, which made little difference, as the Bills
simply rolled past the Seahawks in Seattle. Now with a 3½ game lead in the AFC East, with Buffalo "D"
doing its part, allowing just 13.3 ppg in this 3-game run. Addition of Amari Cooper puts all the more
pressure on opposing "D"s, altho he did drop a couple of passes. Return of Tua has to be a plus, as
Miami backups hardly contributed, & there is always the possible "rust" factor. Bills' streak continues.
RATING: BUFFALO BILLS 88

NEAR CHOICES (Rated 87): Vandy, SMU, Tennessee, Tulane - NFL: Washington, New Orleans, Kansas City

Officially made great again.

* Tyleik Williams looked like he at least practiced some. Had a brace on his left ankle. Day said he thinks Tyleik will play this week, and said he wouldn't be on a pitch count if he did.

* Will Kacmarek is making progress, but still a few weeks away. Day did say he was ahead of schedule.

* I asked Day about how effective QB sneaks have been this year, and then talked to him off on the side some more about it. He said they brought in Nate Ebner in the offseason and studied rugby mauls to develop some better techniques on moving the pile on sneaks. Think OSU is averaging about 3 yards per sneak this year.

* Lathan Ransom said he's feeling good in regards to the foot injury that kept him out of the Nebraska game. Seems like he's full steam ahead.

What a difference a week can make. 😍

• The offensive line was way better than I thought it would be. Yes, Abdul Carter beat Donovan Jackson a few times, but that's gonna happen against an early first-round draft pick. This was my biggest concern (and everyone else's), but the effort was really good against a great defensive front.
• Did Hinzman play basically the entire game? I was surprised they went that route but I didn't notice him at all (which is a great thing for OL).
• Will Howard did cost Ohio State about 14 points today. The interception was bad, but I didn't like the play at all. It seemed like everyone knew what was coming. I won't fault him too much on the fumble. He had the ball in the correct hand and the defender just made a great play.
• Howard was up and down today, but the people who were calling for Sayin in the first half are beyond silly.
• He threw a bad ball to Tate but the one deep ball to Jeremiah looked good to me. Not sure if Smith lost it in the sun or what.
• I liked seeing the running backs helping out and chipping on Carter.
• The ground game was significantly better than it was against Nebraska. Great job by Judkins and Henderson.
• I didn't love the pick six play design, but I thought Chip put together a fine showing. The TD pass to Inniss was a beautiful play. They had Inniss, Rodgers, and Ballard on the field for that one. Crazy.
• This wasn't an ideal time to see some bad snaps, but fortunately McLaughlin got them out of his system early in the game.
• LOVED the run blocking on that last fourth quarter drive.
• Huge balls on that play-action 4th down pass to Jelani. PSU actually had a great play call to defend the initial read, but Will just made a play. And Jelani nearly gave me a heart attack.
• Again, major props to Justin Frye and the offensive line.
  
  
  
  
• Caleb Downs was my player of the game. He seemed to be following Tyler Warren and basically shut him down when doing so. Warren got loose in the fourth but most of that came on a great catch against Lathan and some plays with him in the backfield. Downs is such a great tackler. Wild that we get another year out of him.
• The Davison Igbinosun interception was the biggest momentum-changing play of the season. He can be frustrating at times, but that was a ridiculous play.
• Overall I thought the secondary played an amazing game. Nice bounce-back for Denzel Burke as well. PSU wideouts aren't good but they were invisible today.
• Loved seeing back-to-back sacks.
• Did not love seeing the Jack Sawyer missed sack early in the game.
• GREAT work in the redzone.
• I didn't notice anything particularly bad by the linebackers or defensive line. I assume they were solid but I'll pay more attention on rewatch. Loved seeing Cody get the sack.
• Props to Fielding for making his FGs today. That second one had me a bit scared though.
• And MAJOR props to the entire team for bouncing back after going down 10-0 early in one of the toughest places to play.

Gave Tyleik Williams the "day-to-day" designation with his lower leg injury.

Rewatching the play today where he was injured, looked like maybe he got rolled up on at the end of it.

But Williams only had ice on it after the game, and Austin said it looked like Williams would've kept playing if Penn State ended up getting the ball back.

So, doesn't seem like anything Day is overly concerned about, but could certainly see a scenario where they try to give Williams some rest with Purdue and Northwestern coming up.

Sad — but what’s most hilarious about all this is watching this pervert try to deny it and claim it’s “fake news.”

Really really sick stuff…

I think he has taken a major step back this year as a TV commentator but he still has some pretty insight on his podcast

Knowles came to Ohio State known for his defensive scheme that runs a base 4-2-5 structure with a few twists. One of those twists was the JACK position, a stand-up edge rusher that plays as a linebacker/defensive end hybrid capable of rushing the passer or dropping back into coverage to confuse opposing offenses. The Buckeyes have a ton of players on their roster that would be perfect for this position, including guys like Arvell Reese and CJ Hicks, who were basically recruited for that exact spot.

So, why does a position that is so important to Knowles’ scheme not exist at Ohio State? The answer is Larry Johnson.

Ohio State has not fielded anything close to a good defensive line since the 2019 season, when Chase Young was basically wrecking opposing offenses by himself. Despite having five-star prospect after five-star prospect at his disposal year after year, Johnson has done nothing with it. In the two losses to Oregon and the three losses to Michigan, the Buckeyes have managed two sacks TOTAL. One of those was by Cody Simon, which means the defensive line has tallied ONE sack over those five losses.

A lack of pressure from the defensive line has been the one constant across all of these big game failures, and Johnson is to blame. Stuck in his ways, Johnson trots out his four-down front with zero creativity whatsoever, relying on each player to simply win his one-on-one matchups. That is all well and good... until you get into a talent equated game. There is hardly so much as a simple stunt from Ohio State’s defensive linemen, with four guys running straight into their blockers and remaining there until the play is over more often than not.

But what about that JACK position from Knowles’ scheme? Shouldn’t that mix things up for the pass rush? Sure, it would if Knowles was allowed to use the position.

Larry Johnson and Jim Knowles have feuded over the JACK position since the defensive coordinator arrived on campus. Rather than solving the dispute and telling the rest of his coordinators they must adapt to the man who is supposed to be the head coach of the defense in Knowles, Ryan Day has allowed LJ to play the seniority card and win the battle up front. Knowles, in effect, has control over only two-thirds of the defense, and the piece he is missing is both the most important one and the one that has been the least effective.
