OSU sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller (5) is tackled during the 3rd quarter of the Buckeyes' 29-22 win against Purdue Oct. 20 at Ohio Stadium. Miller was injured on the play and would leave for the remainder of the game.

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is "symptom free" and in the process of being discharged from the Wexner Medical Center, according to an OSU spokesman.

Miller appeared to injure his head in the third quarter of OSU's 29-22 overtime win against Purdue, and was taken to the hospital on concern of a concussion.

Miller underwent tests on his head, neck and shoulder, but was declared "symptom free," the spokesman said.

Before the injury, Miller was 9-of-20 passing for 113 yards and an interception. He also rushed the ball 12 times for 47 yards and a touchdown.

When Miller left the game, OSU was trailing, 20-14.

Coach Urban Meyer was unaware of Miller's condition immediately after the game, but said he was as concerned as if it was his son laying on the field.

"I have concern," Meyer said. "And especially, I think it's a head so that concerns all of us."

Miller was replaced by OSU redshirt junior quarterback Kenny Guiton, who conducted the Buckeyes during a 61-yard touchdown drive in the final 47 seconds of regulation to force overtime. Once there, Guiton helped lead OSU to the eventual game-winning score, a touchdown run by junior running back Carlos Hyde.

I watched the video several time. It looks like he may have been unconscious for a bit. His right arm appears to go limp after he is on the ground. Also, his team mates are talk to too him, he is not move at all.

Miller was released from the hospital without any apparent injuries... zero... none... nada... zip! Now ask yourself how many times he has gone down in past games... been helped to the sideline, then miraculously recovers and goes back in two plays later? I think what we have is an Academy Award winner for a quarterback. Is he seeking crowd sympathy? Does he fold under pressure or when losing the game? Something is rotten here and I think Meyer needs to realize that our Heisman candidate quarterback may need professional help!

@BuckGrad:
Is that for real?

Any concussion is not good. Especially later in life. I would suggest that they watch him carefully even though he is "sympton free". I wish him well.
