Last week, Ohio State QB Justin Fields left the game with an ankle injury on the last Buckeyes offensive play.
He started this week against Michigan, but he took another scary hit to his lower body in the third quarter, going down in pain once again.
As you can see below, Fields got his knee rolled up on by one of his offensive linemen and was down for a few seconds in obvious pain:

However, he was only out for a couple of plays before returning. And, wouldn’t you know it, he threw a touchdown:

That’s a huge sigh of relief for Ohio State fans, but it’s not great to see the star quarterback taking so many big hits.
With a 42-16 lead over Michigan, it’s worth wondering at what point coach Ryan Day should pull his starters.
