Injuries Plague Ohio State Defense, Rutgers Executes Perfect Fourth-Down Play
Ohio State football's list of banged-up defensive starters grew as cornerback Denzel Burke and safety Lathan Ransom did not make the trip for a victory at Rutgers. In addition, safety Josh Proctor sustained a potential head injury, linebacker Tommy Eichenberg left the game with a shoulder injury, and J.T. Tuimoloau injured his hand but returned to play. The team's coach, Ryan Day, does not have a timetable for the return of Burke and Ransom, and several other starters are dealing with physical issues. Ohio State will face Michigan State and Minnesota before a season-defining game against Michigan on November 25.
