Barrett appeared to suffer the injury during a rush attempt in the third quarter. He stayed down on the field before limping off, and he did not return after he was replaced by Dwayne Haskins.

Barrett, a senior, was just three of eight for 30 passing yards and a touchdown. He did rush for 67 yards and a touchdown. Haskins played solidly after replacing Barrett, completing six of seven passes for 94 yards, and guided the Buckeyes back from a 20-14 deficit to secure the victory.
