Purdue vs. Ohio State, from a matchup perspective.

Date/Time: Saturday, November 8, 1 p.m. EDT

Location: Ross-Ade Stadium

Surface: Bermuda Grass

Capacity: 61,441 (tickets)

2025 schedules/records: Purdue 2-7 (0-6 Big Ten) | Ohio State 8-0 (5-0 Big Ten)

Series notes: While Ohio State leads the all-time series 42-15-2, some of Purdue’s finest hours came in wins over the Buckeyes. Since the turn of the century, Purdue owns five victories over Ohio State, all coming in West Lafayette (2000, 2004, 2009, 2011, 2018). No Purdue fan will ever forget the dramatic victories in 2000 and 2018, and few Purdue upset victories came as unexpectedly as the 2009 stunning of then-No. 7 Ohio State. Since the fateful night in 2018, the Buckeyes hold a three-game win streak over Purdue with an average margin of victory of 35.67 points.

Purdue is facing a No. 1-ranked team for the first time in Ross-Ade Stadium since Nov. 6, 1976, when the Boilermakers ruined legendary Wolverines’ coach Bo Schembechler’s best chance at a national championship with a 16-14 upset. The Boilermakers last faced a top-ranked squad 36 years ago, losing at Notre Dame 37-11 on Sept. 29, 1990. The last No. 1 team to play in Ross-Ade was a year earlier, when Lou Holtz’s Fighting Irish beat Fred Akers’ Boilermakers 40-7.

All-time, Purdue is 7-11 overall against No. 1 teams, beating Notre Dame in four of those games, and Minnesota (1960 in Minneapolis; 23-14), Michigan State (1957 in East Lansing; 20-14) and the aforementioned win over Michigan. Purdue is 3-5 all-time against No. 1-ranked teams in Ross-Ade with its two additional wins over Notre Dame (1965, 1967).
