One of Ohio State’s top players appeared in just one series of Monday night’s title game.
Trey Sermon, OSU’s star running back, left the first quarter of the College Football Playoff national championship game after taking a hard hit on his first carry of the game. He never returned as the Buckeyes lost 52-24 to Alabama.
Sermon was hurt on the first play of the game when he gained two yards.
Here’s the play where Sermon was injured. You can see him immediately grab at the collar of his shoulder pads.
