Cade Stover and a healthy – or unhealthy, more like – serving of defensive players dealt with injuries that either knocked them out of Saturday’s game against Rutgers or kept them playing altogether.
Safety Lathan Ransom and cornerback Denzel Burke were both designated as out on the team’s status report prior to the game, but Ohio State’s secondary suffered a third blow when Josh Proctor left the contest after helping make one of the game’s biggest plays.
As Rutgers quarterback Gavin Wimsatt attempted a third-quarter pass over the middle to running back Kyle Monangai, Proctor leveled a hit on the ballcarrier that popped the throw up into the air.
