CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) – Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor was briefly knocked out of the No. 2 Buckeyes’ game again Illinois but returned after missing parts of three series.
Pryor injured his left leg while scrambling in the third quarter Saturday. He appeared to fall without serious contact and was helped from the field by Buckeye staff, but walked on his own to the locker room. He ran back onto the sideline a few minutes later.
Pryor was replaced by junior Joe Bauserman with Ohio State leading 14-10. He promptly threw an interception to Illinois safety Trulon Henry, though the Buckeyes’ defense stopped the Illini.
Ohio State’s Heisman Trophy candidate was having another stellar game when he left, even though the Illini were within striking distance. Pryor had 102 yards rushing on 10 carries, and had thrown a pair of touchdown passes before he was hobbled by the injury.
