According to Bill Rabinowitz, cornerback Dominc Clarke is suspended for this weekend's game against the Fighting Illini. The suspension is coming after a reported "violation of team rules". Rumor has it that Clarke was causing some sort of disturbance at an on-campus restaurant.
While Clarke wasn't a starter, he did get in on many snaps in relief of Bradley Roby or Travis Howard, and provided much needed depth at the corner position. He was also expected to help control the Illini passing game this Saturday, so they could minimize the offensive production of Nathan Scheelhaase and the rest of Illinois offense. Clarke is expected to return to the team next week when the Buckeyes host the Badgers.
This is just more awful news in a never ending train of sadness and disappointment for Ohio State this year.
