Nearly everything went right for Ohio State against Michigan.
The offense played well enough to score 62 points, making the Wolverines’ defense look like it didn’t belong on the same field. Defensively, the Buckeyes gave up 39 points, but part of that were due to other issues away from the defensive side of the ball.
In the world of special teams, Ohio State seemed nearly perfect. One aspect of the game which didn’t pan out perfectly was staying healthy. Of course, getting hurt is nobody’s fault, but, luck wasn’t on OL Demetrius Knox’s side.
Knox, late in the fourth quarter, was blocking on a play and eventually went down. He was eventually carted off the field and he was seen doing an “O-H” chant with his hands on the way out.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer gave an update on Knox Sunday:
Meyer on RG Demetrius Knox's status: He's out. A Lis-franc injury to his foot. "It's a tough loss. We have to regroup. Wyatt Davis looks like he'll start."

Knox, who has been sharing time with Wyatt Davis this season, seems to be out and Davis will get at least the majority of the playing time at right guard.
The next game for the Buckeyes is the Big Ten Championship at 8 p.m. on Saturday against Northwestern.
