The Ohio State Buckeyes earned a strong and dominant win over the Wisconsin Badgers on Saturday, 52-21 to open up Big Ten play. They did all this without their number one receiver in Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Next week Ohio State will take on the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and they may have to earn the win without Smith-Njigba again, and perhaps without even Brutus the Buckeye.
Numerous players were bumped and bruised, but the injury that made the most headlines tonight was to the beloved mascot, Brutus. During a contest between a few contestants, Brutus was flat-out leveled and the ramifications were brutal. Check out the highlight below and the social media reaction to it all.
