Ohio State wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. had a tremendous first half against No. 1 Georgia, racking up five catches for 106 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
In the second half, he was largely held in check thanks to far more physical play by the Georgia secondary, including a big hit in the back of the end zone that left him on the turf of Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
After the game, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day said he was removed after going through concussion protocol.

Harrison was taken to the medical tent and released from it relatively quickly, but he didn't receive his helmet back.
Curiously, a targeting call on the play was soon overturned.
