COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State starting right guard Branden Bowen suffered a broken leg during Saturday's game vs. Maryland.

Ohio State coach Urban Meyer called it a "clean break."

"I think he's going to have surgery tomorrow," Meyer said. "Just gotta get him healthy and get him back.

"Next man up right now looks like Matt Burrell.

Bowen suffered the injury during the first quarter when he was rolled up on a pass play. He was carted off the field and raised his helmet to salute the fans.

"Branden is in our prayers. That's a tough loss," Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett said. "He had a lot of momentum going. I think he's going to bounce back from this. Now it's getting Matt Burrell ready to play next week and make sure we have a great week of practice so we feel confident going into the game."
