Below, you will find the team and individual stats that Ohio State and Purdue have accumulated against each other. Scoring stats go back to the inception of the series in 1919. All other stats go back to 1957. 

Want to know the most passing yards the Buckeyes have ever put up against Purdue? Most total yards or points scored?

You'll find those answers and other superlatives below.

The stats. Nothing but the stats.
