What was the final score in the OSU vs Purdue college football game?
Purdue 26, Ohio State 18 — It will go down as one of the bigger upsets of the college football season, but those who have watched both of these teams shouldn’t be totally surprised. Purdue had played a lot better than its 1-5 record indicated. The Boilermakers simply couldn’t overcome all their turnovers and lost four games by a combined 18 points.

But unlike last week when the defense and special teams provided enough points for Ohio State (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten) to beat Wisconsin, the struggles of quarterback Terrelle Pryor and Co. were too much for the Buckeyes to overcome. “Yeah, it hurts,” said Pryor, who threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. “Right now, we’ve just got to be worried about the Big Ten because the national championship is gone.” The Buckeyes have won at least a share of the last four Big Ten crowns and played in four consecutive BCS games.
