Clemson, Ohio St. Looking For Redemption
By Brian Bennett | ESPN.com
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. -- Ohio State sophomore defensive end Noah Spence has been suspended three games, starting with Friday's Discover Orange Bowl against Clemson, for violating an unspecified Big Ten rule.
The Buckeyes announced the suspension on Wednesday morning and said that Spence and his parents did not agree with the ruling by the conference. Ohio State and the Spence family then spent time 'exhausting the appeals process that was available to them with the Big Ten,' the statement read.
Spence did not travel to Florida with the Buckeyes, and head coach Urban Meyer had said Spence was dealing with a personal issue. Spence finished second in the Big Ten in sacks with eight and added 14.5 tackles for loss.
Spence will be able to practice with the team in the spring, but he will not be eligible to play until Ohio State's third game of 2014 season, which comes on Sept. 13 against Kent State. The Buckeyes' first two games are at Navy and against Virginia Tech at home.
