Even in a game where a lot of things are going right for the Buckeyes and wrong for the Longhorns, Ohio State did take a big loss on its defensive line. After going down on Texas' 2nd and goal play on a designed run from Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning, defensive lineman Kenyatta Jackson had to be helped off the field and taken into the medical tent on the sideline.
Jackson was seen without his helmet on the sideline later in the quarter, but during the fourth quarterback Fox announced on the broadcast that Jackson would not return to the game due to an undisclosed injury.
