Columbus, OH (Sports Network) - Kenny Guiton took over for an injured Braxton
Miller and led Ohio State to a tying touchdown and two-point conversion with
only three seconds to play in regulation before Carlos Hyde scored in
overtime, as the seventh-ranked Buckeyes remained unbeaten with a 29-22
victory over Purdue. Ohio State played the entire fourth quarter without
Miller, who was hurt while being dragged down at the end of a 37-yard run
in the final minute of the third. He was eventually taken to a local
hospital. Guiton could not muster any offense for the Buckeyes until the final
minute. A penalty in the end zone gave Purdue a safety and an eight-point lead
before an interception allowed the Boilermakers a chance to run out the final
2:40 and exit Ohio Stadium with a victory for the first time since 1988. They
left 47 seconds on the clock and the Buckeyes took advantage. Guiton drove
Ohio State 61 yards in seven plays, aided by a pass interference penalty in
the end zone on a third-down incompletion, and capped the set with a two-yard
TD pass to Chris Fields. He then found tight end Jeff Heuerman for the tying
two-point conversion. Ohio State took possession first to start the overtime
and a 17-yard pass from Guiton to Jake Stoneburner set up Hyde's 1-
yard touchdown run. The Boilermakers could not answer, as Caleb
TerBush's fourth-down pass into the end zone fell harmlessly incomplete.
