There was a scary moment for Ohio State fans in the OSU-Indiana game. Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer needed medical attention after he ran into a staffer on the sideline.
Various Ohio State outlets, including Land-Grant Holy Land and Eleven Warriors captured some of what was shown on the FOX broadcast and tweeted out a few images. Twitter user @Steve_Stuck recorded video of FOX noticing him down and grabbing his head.

Given Meyer’s history of health problems, seeing him receive attention from the training staff on the sidelines can certainly alarm the CFB viewing audience. This time, it looks like he’s okay and it was a freak accident.
