A fan captured Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett’s injury moments after there was a mysterious collision on the sidelines with a camera.

The superstar quarterback was injured prior to the game against Michigan after a cameraman hit him. No other details other than that are currently known at this time.

TMZ obtained the video, and Barrett can clearly be seen limping around in pain. The man filming the video can be heard shouting, “The dude just ran into J.T.’s leg. The cameraman just ran into J.T.’s leg!…What the hell! He just hurt his leg!”

This is such a strange and mind-boggling situation, especially because the cameraman has yet to be publicly identified by anybody. I’m sure it was an accident, but why is this being kept so hushed up?

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has called for investigation, and he’s not playing games. Accidents happen. That’s part of sports and life, but the refusal to give any information away is something to behold. You can bet every dollar in your bank account that OSU fans will use this injury as a crutch if they don’t win the B1G championship.

You can literally bet the house on that.
