Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor had to come out of the No. 2 Buckeyes' game against Illinois early in the third quarter with what appeared to be a left leg injury.
Pryor injured his left leg while rushing for 10 yards from his own 19. He appeared to fall without serious contact and was helped from the field by Ohio State staff. The Heisman Trophy candidate then walked on his own to the team's locker room.
Initial reports indicated Pryor suffered a strained quad muscle. He returned to the field later in the third quarter.
Pryor was replaced by junior Joe Bauserman with Ohio State leading 14-10. Bauserman promptly threw an interception a few minutes later to give the Illini the ball.
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.
