Clifford was suspended for the
National Title game last season for violating an unspecified team rule and will
undoubtedly face more internal discipline along with any legal punishment.
Overall Program Image
The Buckeyes have been fortunate so
far in 2008 with players not getting into trouble. The legal attention Ohio State
received at the start of Tressel’s career has slowed to a trickle. You can say that “boys will be boys” or “kids
will be kids” but there has got a point in time where a young man needs to
remember just who and where the heck he is.
