I question the timing. Not really, I'm only mock cynical here, but it's exactly what you'd expect from a major program with two layups before The Game Of The Year in college football.
Ohio State defensive backs Donald Washington and Jamario O'Neal told reporters Thursday at media day that they've been suspended for the first two games of the season ... Neither player elaborated on the reasons for the suspensions.That'd be against Youngstown State and Ohio, where the backups will be in before halftime anyway. I'm sure Coach Tressel would have been more comfortable with his defensive backs at least getting some game action before facing USC but them's the breaks. Washington is a starter and O'Neal contributes heavily as a backup.
They will soon be joined (we assume) by teammate Doug Worthington on the suspension list once a punishment is determined for his recent DUI arrest. In the name of balance we point you towards the story of a USC linebacker recruit recently convicted on charges related to a robbery. Oh and Rey Maualuga in women's unmentionables. And Reggie Bush's never-ending stiff-arm of the NCAA.
