Ohio State football dominated another opponent in a win on the road against Purdue. Here are five things we thing we learned coming out of the game.

Ohio State's superstar wide receiver Jeremiah Smith made history on Saturday afternoon against the Purdue Boilermakers.

Carnell Tate was unexpectedly absent, but Jeremiah Smith stole the show in No. 1 Ohio State's 34-10 win at Purdue.

At receiver, Ohio State was without star Carnell Tate, who was available but felt tightness pregame and didn’t play for precautionary reasons. In his absence, Ohio State saw Mylan Graham, Quincy Porter and Bryson Rodgers earn more snaps at receiver.

Sayin rolled right and threw back across his body for Jeremiah Smith, with Brandon Inniss crossing through the end zone, but CJ Nunnally IV stepped in front of Smith for the pick. The interception broke a string of 173 Sayin pass attempts without turning it over. He finished 26 of 32 for 297 yards, a touchdown and the interception.

Julian Sayin threw for 303 yards and one touchdown Saturday and No. 1 Ohio State used four straight scoring drives in the second quarter to pull away from Purdue 34-10. Jeremiah Smith finished with a season-high 10 catches for 137 yards and caught a 35-yard TD pass to break open the game.
