LOOK: Ohio State RB Mike Weber was also apparently dinged up on the sidelines at Michigan
Published:
J.T. Barrett wasn’t the only Ohio State player to get dinged up on the sidelines at Michigan Stadium on Saturday afternoon apparently.
After The Game on Saturday, head coach Urban Meyer exploded in the post-game press conference about an injury Barrett sustained, allegedly due to a camera operator trying to maneuver through the Buckeyes sideline on Saturday. The quarterback confirmed the report, saying someone was trying to squeeze into a tight area and collided with him.
Well, apparently Barrett was the only one to have a run-in with a camera guy. On Monday afternoon, running back Mike Weber took a photo of his arm, which appears to have some bruising. While that’s certainly not uncommon or a college football player, he included text that read “Camera men are more dangerous than defenders.”
Here’s the photo, which was tweeted out by Jeremy Birmingham from Land of 10:
Apparently Mike Weber was also dinged up by a camera guy on Saturday in Ann Arbor. Was told this happened during the game.

Obviously Weber’s injury isn’t nearly as serious as the one Barrett suffered — as Meyer isn’t even sure if he’ll be the starter for the B1G Championship Game on Saturday — but it does indicate that the sidelines in Ann Arbor are probably a little too tight.
Weber finished the day with 57 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. His only trip to the end zone was the game-ender, sprinting 25 yards late in the fourth quarter to give the Buckeyes a 31-20 lead.
