Purdue, who had lost many close games, came to play in front of their home fans at Ross-Ade Stadium. Purdue scored first with a field goal in the first quarter, but Ohio State made it 7–3 with a Pryor run for a touchdown. The second quarter was all Purdue with Boilermakers making two field goals to put them up it a 9–7 halftime. In the second half Purdue was finally able to find the end zone with two Joey Elliot touchdown passes to Valentin, making it a commanding 23–7 lead for the Boilermakers. In the fourth quarter both teams traded field goals with the score now 26–10. Purdue, however, was forced to punt midway through the fourth quarter and Ohio State quickly drove down the field to score a touchdown with a pass from Pryor to Posey, with Pryor running it in the two-point conversion. The next drive, Purdue went three and out and it seemed the momentum had shifted and Ohio State had come alive, but with a sack of Pryor and a denial of a fourth down, Purdue had the ball. After seemingly stopping Purdue, a crucial facemask penalty by the Buckeyes allowed the Boilermakers to run out the clock. This was the first time Ohio State had lost to a team that had finished the season with a losing record since losses to Wisconsin and Penn State in 2001. </p><p><b>1st Quarter</b> </p> <ul><li>12:47 PUR Wiggs 32-yard field goal 3–0 PUR</li> <li>11:28 OSU Pryor 6-yard run (Pettrey kick) 7–3 OSU</li></ul> <p><b>2nd Quarter</b> </p> <ul><li>8:55 PUR Wiggs 27-yard field goal 7–6 OSU</li> <li>0:01 PUR Wiggs 55-yard field goal 9–7 PUR</li></ul> <p><b>3rd Quarter</b> </p> <ul><li>10:58 PUR Valentin 15-yard pass from Elliott (Wiggs kick) 16–7 PUR</li> <li>3:35 PUR Valentin 23-yard pass from Elliott (Wiggs kick) 23–7 PUR</li></ul> <p><b>4th Quarter</b> </p> <ul><li>11:50 OSU Pettrey 24-yard field goal 23–10 PUR</li> <li>10:00 PUR Wiggs 49-yard field goal 26–10 PUR</li> <li>7:14 OSU Posey 25-yard pass from Pryor (Pryor run) 26–18 PUR</li></ul> <div style="clear:both;" class=""></div> <hr /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Minnesota">Minnesota</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=2009_Ohio_State_Buckeyes_football_team&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Minnesota"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <table style="border: 1px solid #a2a9b1; border-spacing: 3px; margin: 0.5em 0 0.5em 1em; padding: 0.2em; float: right; clear: right; line-height: 1.5em; width:35em; font-size:90%;"> <caption style="font-weight: bold"><b>Minnesota at #18 Ohio State</b> </caption> <tbody><tr> <td> <table class="wikitable" style="text-align:center; float:right; margin-top:0; margin-right:0;"> <tbody><tr> <th> </th> <th style="width: 25px">1</th> <th style="width: 25px">2</th><th style="width: 25px">3</th><th style="width: 25px">4</th><th style="width: 25px">Total</th> </tr><tr style="text-align:center;"> <td style="text-align: left"> Minnesota</td> <td>0</td> <td>0</td><td>0</td><td>7</td> <td style="font-weight:bold">7</td> </tr><tr style="text-align:center;"> <td style="text-align: left">• <b>#18 Ohio State</b></td> <td>0</td> <td>7</td><td>21</td><td>10</td> <td><b>38</b></td> </tr></tbody></table> <ul><li><b>Date:</b> October 24</li><li><b>Location:</b> <a href="/wiki/Ohio_Stadium" title="Ohio Stadium">Ohio Stadium</a><br /><a href="/wiki/Columbus,_Ohio" title="Columbus, Ohio">Columbus, OH</a></li><li><b>Game start:</b> 12:00 p.m. <a href="/wiki/Eastern_Daylight_Time" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastern Daylight Time">EDT</a></li><li><b>Elapsed time:</b> 3:10</li><li><b>Game attendance:</b> 105,011</li><li><b>Game weather:</b> Overcast, 52 F, SW 18 MPH</li><li><b>Referee:</b> Mike Cannon</li><li><b>TV announcers (ESPN):</b> <a href="/wiki/Dave_Pasch" title="Dave Pasch">Dave Pasch</a> (Play-by-play), <a href="/wiki/Bob_Griese" title="Bob Griese">Bob Griese</a> (Color) & <a href="/wiki/Chris_Spielman" title="Chris Spielman">Chris Spielman</a> (Color)</li> </ul> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>The Ohio State Buckeyes returned to Ohio Stadium to face the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Ohio State came into the game with a loss to Purdue, trying not to lose two straight games since 2004. The game opened up with little offensive production for both teams. Ohio State scored first with a 62-yard pass to Posey. After half time Minnesota lost the opening kickoff which was recovered by Ohio State. Pryor later ran it in for a touchdown, Ohio State led 14–0. After many stops by the Ohio State defense, the offense continued rolling, at the end of the third quarter the score was 28–0 Ohio State. Two more scores in the fourth by Ohio State and a touchdown by Minnesota on Ohio State's backups ended the game.

The game was a one-sided affair, with Ohio State's defense holding the Nittany Lions to just one touchdown, while the Buckeyes scored in every quarter, including two touchdown passes by Pryor. However, special teams play gave the Buckeyes the biggest boost of all, including two Ray Small punt returns that allowed Ohio State to make the game into a laugher, despite their four scoring drives totalling 178 yards.
