If you’re still clinging to football season, here’s a heads-up: The Boilermakers’ next game is already set up. The Boilermakers, who were recently defeated by the Northwestern with a close score of 26 to 20 will will be travelling to OSU’s home ground in Columbus. This is the great challenge—Purdue’s teams last played at Ohio State in 2021, when things didn’t quite go their way for them. Since that shocking defeat at the hands of the Boilermakers a few years back, the Ohio State team has embarrassed a feisty Purdue team with two dominating victories, outscoring the Boilermakers 100-38. Columbus, indeed, doesn’t let Purdue fans off the hook – so buckle up.
Not a surprise here—this game will be at a ‘Big’ noon time start on Fox. Let’s be honest, though: Purdue fans understand that anyway the chance to defeat Ryan Day’s #2 ranked team is next to impossible. The Boilermakers are the underdog in Columbus and now it’s only a question of who will get to shout into the microphone, win or lose as far as that flag is concerned.
Here are the announcers of the game
The Ohio State-Purdue showdown will feature Fox Sports’ top-notch crew: Gus Johnson, Joel Klatt and Jenny Taft. Popular for his enthusiastic attitude, Johnson will bring what is expected in the play by play excitement on each event. Using his experience in the sports broadcasting at CBS Sports, Gus has been a great game lover being an announcer at Fox Sports College Football and College Basketball.
On the sidelines there is color commentator Joel Klatt, who is ex-Buffs, playing quarterback. I like how he analyzes play and provide some tips and advices, he well fits for Johnson’s loud and energetic commentaries as a team for this Big 10 face-off. Moreover, Johnson’s passion is well supported by play-by-play commentary and Arab begins to gain much insight of a game strategy after listening to Johnson.
With analysis of locker-room news, and interviews with the coaches and the players themselves, Jenny Taft takes the sidelines. Taking the people closer to the game. This is an experienced team with over eight years of working together, they are going to provide the best coverage you would ever see for this Big 10 fixture on Saturday in Columbus.
What are Ohio State and Purdue’s prospects leading to this match?
The benefits increase for the Buckeyes as the computer has strongly favored Ohio State in this week’s game against Purdue. Ohio State was able to be a winner in 99 of the simulations recorded. What this does for Purdue is leaving it a mere one-percent chance at the end of the chain. The Buckeyes offense is unstoppable, and the defensively they are indomitable; the team is eyeing the playoffs; they want a home field victory. Going into this clash, the Buckeyes have to be feeling pretty invincible at this point.
Purdue’s season has been about as smooth as ground round with the Boilermakers sitting at a lowly 0 and 5 in the Big-10 conference. These days they are a ship sailing in troubled waters waiting for the fire to be lit. But when you are up against Ohio State, it’s like trying to set fire to a Match in a Hurricane. Well, okay, Purdue’s already had some wild and woolly games this season, but to beat the Buckeyes in the house of cards? No way, no how–it’s gonna take a miracle.
