Ohio State just won its sixth consecutive game against Michigan, but Urban Meyer isn't happy with how he believes J.T. Barrett was injured.

Meyer lambasted an unnamed cameraman following the Buckeyes' 31-20 win over the Wolverines on Saturday, saying the injury to his starting quarterback was caused prior to the game, according to Dan Hope of Eleven Warriors.

"Too many damn people on the sideline. I'm so angry right now," said a clearly frustrated Meyer, venting frustration over the health of Barrett.

The coach added there will be an "all-out investigation" to uncover the identity of the cameraman. "I'll find out who that was."

Barrett appeared to aggravate the leg injury during the second half of the game, leading to Dwayne Haskins replacing the senior in his final regular-season contest.

Meyer stated Barrett's status for the remainder of the season is currently uncertain, but the quarterback said he feels he will be able to play next week, according to Bill Rabinowitz of The Columbus Dispatch.

In order to give an accurate account, Barrett acted out the injury to reporters during the team's post-game press conference.
