Columbus, Ohio - Terrelle Pryor threw for three scores, Dan Herron ran for two and No. 11 Ohio State showed it was over its Wisconsin hangover with a 49-0 victory over Purdue on Saturday.
The beat-up Buckeyes (7-1, 3-1 Big Ten) also got redemption for a stunning 26-18 upset a year ago at Purdue, along with last week's 31-18 defeat in Madison that toppled them from No. 1.
Mission accomplished.
Purdue (4-3, 2-1), which had won four of five despite losing its front-line quarterback, tailback and wide receiver, couldn't muster anything against the Buckeyes, who were without leading tackler Ross Homan (foot).
The Boilermakers didn't exceed 100 yards in total offense until their final possession.
