Ohio quarterback Kurtis Rourke, the reigning MAC offensive player of the year, left the first half of Saturday’s opener against San Diego State with an apparent leg injury.
With 20 seconds to go in the first quarter, Rourke dropped back to pass on third-and-5, and was sacked. He went down awkwardly after trying to duck a defender on the initial pass rush.
Rourke laid face down on the ground for several seconds before rolling over and sitting up. He was seen trotting off the field with a limp after being attended to by team medical personnel.
