Ohio Bobcats star quarterback Kurtis Rourke will miss the rest of the season after suffering a knee injury last week, ESPN senior college football writer Pete Thamel reports.
The native of Oakville, Ont., was hurt in the first half of last week's win over Ball State, which pushed Ohio's record to 8-3.
The injury means Rourke will miss a likely Bowl game as well as a potential Mid-American Conference championship contest.
Ohio put out a statement on Rourke before its game Tuesday against Bowling Green.
The younger brother of B.C. Lions star quarterback and Ohio graduate Nathan Rourke, Kurtis Rourke is ninth in the NCAA with 3,256 passing yards this season. He has thrown for 25 touchdowns and four interceptions.
Rourke, 22, is in his third full season at Ohio.
