Dylan Sampson’s hamstring injury leaves Tennessee’s offense struggling in CFP loss to Ohio State
Associated PressCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Tennessee reached the College Football Playoff for the first time in large part due to a rushing attack fueled by Dylan Sampson. Sampson — the SEC’s Offensive Player of the Year — spent most of Tennessee’s 42-17 first-round loss to Ohio State on the sideline due to a strained left hamstring. Sampson — who set school records with 1,485 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns — rode a stationary bike and was stretching on Tennessee’s sideline during the first half in trying to loosen up the hamstring. We didn’t separate at times, and it was a combination of a lot of different things.” Tennessee also appeared to hold Ohio State to a three-and-out on its first series, but defensive lineman Bryson Eason drew a facemask penalty after a sack of Will Howard on third down.
