Safety Tyvis Powell remembered 'all the oxygen' evaporating from Ohio Stadium when J.T. Barrett couldn't get up with a fractured right ankle. Tailback Ezekiel Elliott called it a 'shock' seeing Ohio State's quarterback get carted off the field against Michigan a decade ago. 'J.T. was having a crazy season,' Elliott said. 'He probably would've won the Heisman.' The Buckeyes had already lost star quarterback Braxton Miller in the preseason to shoulder surgery. With the season on the line, Barrett was headed for surgery, too. 'It was like, 'Oh man, here we go again,' Powell said. 'We overcame the Braxton [injury], which was hard enough. We finally got this train rolling and boom, we get hit by another quarterback injury.'
