WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Ohio State is undefeated and ranked No. 1 in the country. The Buckeyes will take their offensive fireworks and defensive dominance on the road to take on Purdue on Saturday afternoon.

Ohio State hasn’t lost to Purdue since 2018. And the Boilermakers haven’t won a Big Ten game since November 2023.

Lettermen Row will have live updates, scores and more as they happen at Ross-Ade Stadium. Follow along here.

The Buckeyes will begin on defense.

Ohio State availability report

The Buckeyes will be without rotational guard Josh Padilla for the showdown in Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday. Padilla has been splitting time along the first-team Ohio State offensive line for the last few games with right guard starter Tegra Tshabola.

Ohio State right tackle Phillip Daniels, meanwhile, will be a game-time decision, so the Buckeyes could be even more short-handed if Daniels can’t play. That could potentially usher second-year tackle Ian Moore or Rice transfer Ethan Onianwa into the lineup as a fill-in for Daniels.

Buckeyes wide receiver Quincy Porter is also a game-time decision after he missed last week’s win over Penn State with an undisclosed injury.

The full availability report from the program is now confirmed, making note that Ohio State doesn’t detail injury or disciplinary matters.
