The No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes (7-0) are back on the road Saturday to face Purdue (3-3).
The Bucks beat Minnesota 30-14 last weekend, while Purdue won 46-7 at Illinois.
The Buckeyes lead the all-time series 39-14-2, but have struggled in West Lafayette this century.
Purdue is 4-3 at home against the Buckeyes since 2000.
Yes, the Boilermakers have more wins over Ohio State this century than Michigan does.
Purdue’s luck has not been so good in Columbus. OSU has only lost once at home (1988) to the Boilermakers since 1967.

Weather
The highs on Saturday afternoon will be around 56, but it should be in the high 40s by kickoff time. As of Thursday morning, the forecast showed some scattered showers before kickoff, but it should be dry during the game.
Winds of 15-20 MPH are expected.
Point Spread
Ohio State is a 12.5-point favorite. That number opened around 14, so a decent amount of money has been coming in on Purdue throughout the week.
The Over/Under is 68.5.
If those numbers are both accurate, the Buckeyes should win 41-28 or so.
