COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Will Howard threw three touchdown passes and rushed for another score, Jeremiah Smith broke the Ohio State freshman receiving record with his ninth touchdown of the season, and the No. 3 Buckeyes rolled over Purdue 45-0 on Saturday.
Smith's 17-yard TD on a crossing route late in the first half broke the tie with Cris Carter, who had eight in 1984. Smith finished with six catches for 87 yards.
Howard also threw touchdown passes to Gee Scott Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. He was 21 for 26 for 260 yards and ran in a 1-yard touchdown on fourth down to open the scoring for the Buckeyes (8-1, 5-1 Big Ten).
The season of woe continued for Purdue (1-8, 0-6), which lost its 10th conference game in a row. That's the longest losing streak since the Boilermakers dropped 10 straight in 2013.
