00:00Actually today you could say is Will Howard in Ohio State and as the kids say

00:09he is showing a lot of Riz right now after kind of calling out Penn State

00:13being his dream team growing up and they basically said wasn't good enough and he

00:17had a trip on his shoulder heading into the matchup making sure that his team

00:20secured a W last week. They bring that energy into the matchup versus Purdue

00:24today securing a shutout versus Purdue 45 to 0 is what the Ohio State Buckeyes

00:30ran away with today. Will Howard with 260 through the air three touchdowns clean

00:37one rushing touchdown and then going pace for pace with Will Howard through

00:41the air it's Jeremiah Smith 87 receiving yard six receptions one touchdown. Just a

00:46few short weeks ago W and I were sitting here talking about a

00:49performance by Ohio State saying hey they're good but it just wasn't good

00:53enough it wasn't really that uh that the sexiest performance that you would

00:56expect out of Ohio State so what do we make of 45 to 0 after coming off of a

01:00big victory last weekend? This is impressive and you know for the

01:05Boilermakers far from being one of the stronger teams in in college football

01:09right now just having the one win for the program this season but for Ohio

01:13State the the odds makers projected them as 37 and a half point favorites so

01:18you've got to come out and get the job done you've got to put up the points

01:21you've got to get that offense moving in the right direction you can't show

01:25any kind of vulnerability to let a team like the Boilermakers into the arm

01:29wrestle they didn't 45 to nothing this was emphatic they controlled the game

01:33they controlled the tempo Jeremiah Smith ninth touchdown for the season he's

01:38really putting a pretty special year together here so for Ohio State and the

01:42Buckeyes they keep moving this freight train in the right direction and taking

01:46a look at who they do have on tap Northwestern Indiana and Michigan so a

01:51pretty tough closeout down through the final month of football here but in

01:56terms of where the big challenges are coming from in the Big Ten they

02:00certainly look to be one of the heavyweights and that was a heavyweight

02:03kind of knockout that we saw today. Yeah definitely a knockout we'll see how they

02:08polish off the rest of the season after this 45 to 0 victory over Purdue and

02:12then I mean just kind of adding to the confidence of Will Howard and the chip

02:15on his shoulder currently what gives you more confidence than being the guy

02:18who opens up the scoring a one-yard touchdown for Will Howard to get things

02:22going for Ohio State there you talked about fast tempo coming out and making a

02:26statement quick and easy and that's exactly what they did kind of adding to

02:29the top 25 conversation Ohio State heading into this matchup sitting at

02:33number three when it comes to the APP role so.
