Recap

Purdue's David Blough orchestrated a dominant offensive performance to claim the College Football Belt from Ohio State, with the Boilermakers striking early and often. After opening the scoring with an Isaac Zico touchdown reception in the first quarter, Purdue built momentum through the second quarter, capping a drive with a Rondale Moore touchdown reception to go up 14-3 by halftime. Ohio State mounted a comeback attempt in the second half, with Dwayne Haskins leading scoring drives, but Purdue's running game proved too much in the fourth quarter, with D.J. Knox breaking off touchdown runs of 42 and 40 yards to put the game out of reach. The decisive blow came when Markus Bailey intercepted a Haskins pass and returned it for a touchdown with 2:08 remaining, sealing Purdue's 49-20 victory and the belt.

Isaac Zico 13-yard TD reception in Q1 - Purdue's first score set the tone early
Rondale Moore 9-yard TD reception in Q2 - extended Purdue's lead to 14-3 before halftime
D.J. Knox 42-yard TD run in Q4 - broke the game open when Ohio State was attempting a comeback
Markus Bailey 41-yard interception return for TD in Q4 - sealed the victory and the belt for Purdue
