Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa won’t have fond memories of playing at AT&T Stadium this year.


Bosa exited the Ohio State-TCU game last Saturday with an injury, and coach Urban Meyer revealed Thursday that Bosa underwent surgery to fix a core muscle injury.


There is no timetable for Bosa’s return.


Bosa, arguably the best player in college football and a Heisman Trophy candidate, sustained the injury during the third quarter of the TCU game.


Trainers helped him off the field and he headed to the locker rooms, eventually returning in street clothes.


Bosa had five tackles, including a strip-sack that led to an Ohio State defensive touchdown, in the first half.

TCU had contained Bosa well for much of the first half. Anthony McKinney gave up the sack, but Austin Myers replaced him at left tackle. Myers had a nice block on a TD run by Sewo Olonilua.
