When facing the No. 2 team, sometimes you have to take some risks.

Purdue had a 7-3 lead over Ohio State late in the second quarter when the Boilermakers were driving in Buckeyes territory. When it came time for fourth down, coach Jeff Brohm decided to take a big risk for a potentially big reward.

The Boilermakers lined up for a field goal, but faked it to get the first down. Keeping the drive alive, Purdue scored a touchdown to go up 14-3 on Ohio State.

The game is now at halftime. OSU is 7-0 on the year and has been a projected College Football Playoff team much of the season.

Check out the key plays below:
