Ohio State is down to its third-string quarterback.
Devin Brown, who was starting in place of Kyle McCord after the regular Buckeye starter transferred to Syracuse, has exited the Cotton Bowl with an apparent lower-body injury, being escorted back to the Buckeyes' locker room in the second quarter.
Freshman quarterback Lincoln Kienholz has taken over the position for Ohio State.
Brown came up limping following a first-quarter tackle for loss. He completed a pass to Carnell Tate on the next play and tried to stick it out for a fourth-and-3 attempt from the Missouri 26-yard line but after he shifted from quarterback to out wide, Ryan Day called a timeout and sent out the field goal unit.
