Marvin Harrison Jr. and the Ohio State offense have been stalled out in the first half against Indiana. Unfortunately, Harrison took a hard hit and fall late in the first half and appeared to suffer an injury on the play.

On a play near the sideline, Kyle McCord threw a ball up where only Harrison could go and get it. The elite wide receiver tried to get it, but the ball nearly eluded him.

Unfortunately, as Harrison came down, his left arm was outstretched and Harrison fell hard and awkwardly. After the play, Harrison remained down in visible pain and was grabbing near his left shoulder area.

The good news for for the Buckeyes and Harrison is he was seen back in action with 11 seconds to go in the half, so hopefully he is okay to finish things out with just soreness to account for. Either way, it is something to monitor moving through the second half of Week 1.

In the first half, Harrison had 2 catches for 18 yards while the Buckeyes were held to one touchdown and a 10-3 lead over Indiana. Ohio State was held to 172 yards of offense entering halftime.
