five points to ponder 1 2 3 What chance does Purdue have? It's that simple. Ohio State's a title contender and will come in wanting to impress people the way it did by hanging 63 on Penn State. With that said, Ohio State's now facing a run of three consecutive games against sub-.500 teams and has phoned a couple in against Purdue in recent years. Maybe its focus wanders some? How much red will be in the stands for Purdue's Blackout? Like Nebraska fans, Buckeye loyalists will travel to any stadium where they can get tickets and they have a premier team to follow in 2013. Can Purdue keep Danny Etling off the ground? Ohio State leads the Big Ten with 20 sacks and the freshman's been sacked 10 times the past two games. Does B.J. Knauf's return from a two-game suspension mean much for a Purdue offense that has really struggled lately? If nothing else, it can't hurt. — Brian Neubert 4 statistically speaking OHIO state's 2013 schedule DateOpponent 8/31 BUFFALO 9/7 SAN DIEGO STATE 9/14 @ California 9/21 FLORIDA A&M 9/28 WISCONSIN 10/5 @ Northwestern 10/19 IOWA 10/26 PENN STATE 11/2 @ Purdue 11/16 @ Illinois 11/23INDIANA 11/30 @ Michigan PURDUE Result W, 40-20 W, 42-7 W, 52-34 W, 76-0 W, 31-24 W, 40-30 W, 34-24 W, 63-14 — — — purdue boilermakers ROSTER Normondo Harris .
