ANN ARBOR, Mich. – For a few minutes in the third quarter of Saturday’s game against Michigan and for the second game in a row, Ohio State’s worst-case scenario looked like it could be playing out.
Star quarterback Justin Fields was down on the Michigan Stadium turf and in evident pain after Michigan defensive end Aidan Hutchinson bull-rushed Ohio State tight end Luke Farrell back into Fields’ left knee. Fields immediately grabbed his knee upon going to the ground and stayed on the field for a couple minutes getting attention from Ohio State’s athletic trainers before limping to the sideline and immediately heading into the Buckeyes’ medical tent.
