Very sad. Just image what kind of stats he could of had in the NFL. Go Buckeyes!

Cheater....OSU's "championship" should be revoked! Same for USC...but that's a different blog...

stats he couldve had in the NFL? keep dreaming Bernie there was a reason he was cut before they even left training camp

It's said to see Clarett's life take such a drastic change from his college year, but I pray that things get better for the Buckeye!

Remember when Purdue destroyed Clarett and the Buckeyes?! Boiler UP!

this guy is a bum. IVe seen better running backs at a Soriety vs Soriety benefit game.

You mean when Michael Jenkins caught the game winning touchdown to give OSU the win?

so witty i had to say it twice

Buckeyes. A worthless nut. You know why all the trees on the Ohio And west virginia border lean towards Ohio. Because Ohio sucks!

nope don't remember when purdue destroyed the Buckeyes. Didn't they go undefeated and win a national championship that year.

o.k. so Bryan J. Ohio State should have its title revoked? Why, because of one bad call in an overtime that shouldn't have even gotten to overtime??? If you remember the game correctly (I have watched it in its entirety 17 times) you would see that with 3rd down and 9 and 2:37 on the clock, Ohio State completed a pass for a first down that was ruled out of bounds. Replay clearly showed that the ref blew the call. A first down allows Ohio State to coast to the title and run the clock out; no overtime necessary. So if you want to blame a bad call, rewind a bit and you will see that it was a bad call that even allowed Miami to get to OT. Finally, after the blown call on the pass interference, Miami still got the ball back and got stuffed. That great offense they were supposed to have and Ohio State stuffed them when it counted. Ohio State was the true champion that year. Miami thought they were better than they actually were.

Get a life Antonio666. Your hanging on to the past. You guys choke worse than Oklahoma in the title game. I would know considering Im an ou fan. 17 times?! WTF? Move on, dude...

i am not a mo fan but hey he f##d up n hes doin his time look at all the other jerks in the nfl not everyone can manage money fame and the whole world telling you your the greatest and at the end of it all those people are gone waiting for someone else to come along and f##k up too most people that win the lottery go down the same road when you are all perfect and live perfect lives come back and judge and as for all you buckeye haters your just jealous of a team that is consistantly great and sends most of its players to the nfl

Bad calls happen during every game...I didn't say anything about the game itself....OSU used an ineligible player (or he should have been)....he got caught getting paid (after the he left, of course) and played an integral role in that championship year....I feel the same about USC and Reggie Bush....but because these are premier - code for high revenue generating/line the NCAA's pockets - programs, the NCAA won't do a damn thing. But, they will bust a directional Louisiana school for five years because of an ineligible table tennis player...it's just not a level playing field across all schools....

If Vick deserves a second chance so does this guy! He was good in college and there really isn't any reason to think he couldn't be good again. Yeah....he didn't make the cut with the Broncos but I think the guy wasn't mentally ready. Maybe his time away has put him on the right path and like I said.......he deserves a second chance. I also think that it would be an amazing story that could inspire a lot of people if he could come back and make it. Good luck to ya!

Just another in a long line of OSU busts!

Relal college football is at the "mid-major" level. BCS is simply an NFL minor league proving ground. Low
graduation rate, marginal character players , and big business dollars.

Hey Beanie, if we're gonna go that route I'd rather "imagine" myself playing in the NFL.....(man did I do a number on the 'Skins, 3TDs!!)

Hey bearattack! You got it all wrong, you big billy. The trees lean in Ohio because Pittsburgh sucks and Michigan blows!

I saw this kid play in high school and he was a man amongst boys. I went to a coaching clinic and his then high school coach who is the father of new Bronco's coach McDaniels went on and on about what a good citizen this kid was and how great a student he was in school. Remember, Clarett graduated early so that he could start Ohio State in the Spring. Too much freedon too early for this kid and now he is incarcerated. Classic case of single mother home with no father figure and coaches loving him as long as he is of some value to them. I wonder how many times his high school coach McDaniels or for that matter Tressel has spoken with this young man since his incarceration. I hope for this young man's sake he can get his act together, but chances are he will get out and have no success and revert back to what landed him in prison. As a high school coach for many years I have seen how coaches and communities place kids on pedestals and then forget about them when their college careers don't pan out. Unfortunately, this is when these kids need support the most. I bet Clarett did a few minor things in high school that were overlooked because he was a star, and he took that feeling of being untouchable with him to college. The addition of being credited as one of the main reasons the Buckeyes won probably only fueled that feeling. I bet everyone reading this can recall a local kid from their town that was a super star but washed out when they went to college. I can name too many to mention.

If I can remember correctly Maurice didn't make the NFL because he was too young, right? I believe the rule was you have to be two years older than when you graduated from high school. I could be wrong about the two years thing but I'm pretty sure he tried to play God with his talent stick one to the NFL. Either way, he was a young man at the time who had no idea what he was getting himself into. His parents/guardians should have kicked him in the @ss and set him straight. The fact that they didn't shows me he was probably raised by greedy individuals who wanted him to take on the NFL so they could seek the rewards. Honestly, who in their right mind would allow their 18 or 19 year old son (no matter how talented he is) to take on the NFL and all it's lawyers?

Well there Teddy boy. Great way to start your comment with insults. You must be high class. For your information I have moved on. I was responding to the gentleman who brought it up again. I haven't thought about the game in years and watched it repeatedly with friends years ago in order to celebrate over and over the greatness of Ohio State. Yes they do choke in bowl games and title games. The nice part is I don't care really. I actually have a life Theodore, so I don't care that much. I enjoy watching Ohio State and usually win money on them and nobody puts out talent like the Buckeyes, nobody. I like the Sooners actually. They put out some good teams once in a while and are fun to watch. But chill out dude its just a dumb game anyway watched mainly in the U.S. Most of the world could give 2 craps about American football and believe me, 99.9% don't even know the name Maurice Clarrett. Heck, most don't know who Tom Brady is. Go Buckeyes!!!!!!

Why do all these criminals feel they have a right to come to the N.F.L.?
