Boom Herron will miss another game or two, so it will be up to Saine and Hall to carry the ball, although Hall did miss some practice this week with the flu. Defensive Tackle Larimore will miss a couple more games. OL Jim Cordle is back, but in a back-up role, after dealing with an ankle injury. OL Andrew Miller missed the last two weeks with the flu, so he will also limited to a back-up role this week.
After winning the first game against Toledo, Purdue has lost five straight. Four of those games were lost by an average of 4.5 points. Purdue lost the Oregon by two points, a touchdown to Northern Illinois, and two fourth-quarter loses to Notre Dame and Northwestern. Turnovers have been a big problem for Purdue, racking up 20 so far this season, which places them last in the Big Ten and next to last in FBS (Div I-A) in turnovers. The Purdue defense has allowed teams on average a score of 30.5 points, 379 offensive yards, with 167 yards on the ground. Look for Pryor to rack up some yards running. OSU may have an imbalanced offense, with a larger amount of rushing yards. The Buckeyes should have close to 200 on the ground with 150-200 in the air. The Boilermakers may get 200 yards in the air, but should be limited to 100 or less on the ground. Purdue will likely get 10-17 points and OSU should get over 35 points.
