Caden Curry came up with one of the best special teams plays so far this season for Ohio State in the first quarter against Purdue.
Surging off the edge on a Boilermaker punt from their own 13-yard line, the defensive end reached up with two paws and swatted the football just as it left the foot of Purdue punter Keelan Crimmins. Ben Furtney fell on the ball for the Boilermakers, but the Buckeyes were set up at Purdue's 8-yard line.
It's the first blocked punt for Ohio State since Nov. 19, 2022, when Lathan Ransom came up with one against Maryland.

Ohio State took four plays to pay the blocked boot off, but got into the end zone on a 1-yard plunge by Will Howard on 4th-and-goal to take a 7-0 lead in the first quarter.
