  • Ohio State quarterback JT Barrett was taken out of their win over Michigan in the third quarter with a knee injury.
  • Urban Meyer says the injury happened before the game when Barrett was involved in a collision with a cameraman.
  • Meyer has vowed a full investigation to determine who the cameraman was.


Ohio State beat Michigan on Saturday, 31-20, their sixth straight win in the rivalry. But the Buckeyes did lose starting quarterback J.T. Barrett and Urban Meyer says the circumstances are going to be investigated.

Barrett went down with a knee injury, following a ten-yard run in the third quarter. The Buckeyes were trailing 20-14 at the time.

Barrett was clearly in pain after the play. He attempted to walk off the field, but eventually went back down to the ground. He did eventually walk off the field gingerly.

Barrett eventually walked back to the locker room to be examined.

At the time, it was reported that Barrett had aggravated an "ongoing meniscus issue" in his right knee.

However, after the game, Meyer told the media that Barrett had actually injured his knee prior to the game when he was hit by a cameraman.
