David Blough threw for two touchdowns in the first half, and D.J. Knox ran for three in the second as Purdue upset No. 2 Ohio State 49-20 at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Ind.
Purdue (4-3, 3-1 Big Ten) led 14-3 at the half and extended the lead to 28-6 in the fourth quarter before Dwayne Haskins drew the Buckeyes (7-1, 4-1) to within 28-13 with 9:36 left on a 32-yard pass to Johnnie Dixon.
Knox's third TD covered 40 yards with 6:46 to play to make it 35-13. He carried 16 times for 128 yards.
Haskins, who was 49 for 73 for 470 yards (all school records), threw a 34-yard scoring strike to Terry McLaurin with 4:40 left to make it 35-20, before Blough threw a 43-yard touchdown pass to Rondale Moore, who had 12 catches for 170 yards and two scores.
