The Ohio State Buckeyes had an extremely impressive performance against the Purdue Boilermakers as they crushed them, 59-31. The Buckeyes look like a team worthy of a spot in the College Football Playoff and will have an even larger task to take on the Michigan State Spartans this weekend.
Before we dive into previewing the upcoming match-up between top-ten opponents, let’s take a look into what some of our favorite former Buckeyes are doing in the NFL. The list of former Buckeyes in the NFL has gotten so large that we have to split it into two and we will focus on the offense today.
