Demetrius Knox Pushed Back Surgery, Told Doctors He Couldn't Miss Big Ten Championship

When Demetrius Knox stops smiling, something bad must have happened. Something really, really bad.

So when he fell to the ground in pain in the final two minutes of Ohio State’s final regular season game of the season, a 62-39 win against Michigan, it wasn’t too difficult to see something was wrong.

He knew. Everyone knew. That really, really bad thing had happened.

“Everybody as an athlete, they get that feeling when something's not right,” Knox said early Sunday morning.

Knox rode out of the stadium on the back of a cart with a grimace on his face.
