I find it annoying when announcers are stupid.
"What would it mean to Ryan Day if OSU gets the shutout today?"
Uhh...
It means that OSU stopped Texas deep in scoring territory twice where Texas could have easily walked away with 6 points. But Texas didn't feel that trading FGs for TDs was going to be a winning strategy so they went for it.
Purdue likewise got a shutout because of two missed FGs, but they were 45 and 29 yards, and both effectively "garbage time". So the Purdue shutout is a feel good thing, but the difference between 31-0 and 31-6 was meaningless because the game was never in contention. For OSU Texas the game was still in contention on both drives.
