Ibrahim carried the ball 29 times for 161 yard and two touchdowns, including a 56-yarder on 4th-and-1 to keep a scoring drive alive early in the game. However, he was injured on a tackle by Buckeyes sophomore safety Ronnie Hickman and needed help off the field after attempting to walk off under his own power.

Ibrahim spent several minutes in the medical tent and was seen on the sidelines with his foot in a boot. It was subsequently reported that he suffered a "clear" Achilles injury.

Report: #Gophers star running back Mo Ibrahim believed to have suffered a "clear" left Achilles tendon rupture, according to @ProFootballDoc.

"Will be OK in long run, but not this season," he tweeted. "Fairly classic. Season over and surgery."

Ibrahim has stayed in injury tent.
