COLUMBUS – Cincinnati football's Kyriq McDonald was carted off the field Saturday at Ohio State after collapsing during the second quarter.

The Bearcats' redshirt sophomore safety remained down for nearly five minutes and was attended to by both UC and Ohio State medical personnel. He did not require the backboard and stretcher prepared for him and was able to stand with assistance.

McDonald, an Alabama transfer who gained immediate eligibility via an NCAA waiver, had a similar situation occur during the Crimson Tide's national championship win against Georgia two seasons ago.
