Ohio State wide receiver Corey Smith is out for the season with a broken leg.
Coach Urban Meyer said the key special teams player would not recover in time to contribute this season. Meyer said of the fifth-year senior, “My heart bleeds for that guy. One of my favorite players.”
Smith had five receptions for 62 yards this season.
He was injured blocking on a running play when his leg was rolled up on as Curtis Samuel was being tackled Saturday at Indiana.
–The undefeated and 18th-ranked Michigan Wolverines have lost one of their top defenders for the rest of the season.
Coach Jim Harbaugh confirmed that linebacker Mario Ojemudia suffered an Achilles tendon injury during Saturday’s 28-0 win over Maryland.
Ojemudia is Michigan’s third-leading tackler with 19 stops after five game. He’s also second on the team with six tackles for loss, and second in sacks with two.
–Florida State running back Dalvin Cook is day-to-day with a hamstring issue that doesn’t seem to be as serious as first thought.
Cook was injured while slowing down as he was running out of bounds during the first quarter of Saturday’s game against Wake Forest.
He sat out of the second half of the Seminoles 24-16 victory.
–Kansas State defensive back Cre Moore was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence.
