Things aren't going well for the Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl, and there's nothing worse than an apparent bad injury.

Ohio State sophomore defensive back Lathan Ransom was taken off the field on a medical cart after injuring his left leg during Britain Covey's 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown with 8:17 left in the first half.
