Chase Young Is Suspended

[Omega]

From Letterman Row:

Ohio State had sailed through the first couple months of the Ryan Day Era without incident, blowing out every opponent and brushing aside every potential distraction that popped up with no trouble. Whether it was dealing with key injuries, handling speculation about Day being an NFL head-coaching candidate, tuning out the rankings or even managing three possible Heisman campaigns, the Buckeyes have been completely unfazed while shooting to the top spot in College Football Playoff poll.

And while Ohio State is deep and talented at virtually every position, Young had emerged as the ringleader — particularly after a jaw-dropping, four-sack outing against Wisconsin before last week’s off date. The good-natured, respected teammate hadn’t been made available to the media since the postgame press conference after the win, the first public hint that something was amiss with Young’s status.

“I mean, having a player like Chase play the way he has clearly changes the game and makes everybody on that defense better, because you have to account for him on every play,” Day said last week. “But that’s only good if he plays that way, and he is. And we all know his potential and what he’s done, but I thought his intensity and the way he approached that game was special. You could tell he played with a chip on his shoulder. But that’s only good if he keeps continuing to play that way.

“I think that’s why you’ve got to give him credit week in and week out. He’s played the same way, he’s been consistent, he’s been tough, he’s been productive. But now we’re into the teeth of this thing, and he’s going to have to continue to play that way because now he’s got the biggest bullseye he’s ever had on his chest. That’s going to be tough going down the stretch.”

Now it’s not even clear when Chase Young will get to take part in that championship push for Ohio State.

And until further notice, the Buckeyes will be working without the nation’s best player.

Lettermen Row’s Jeremy Birmingham and Tim May both contributed reporting for this story, which will be updated as more information becomes available.

From Eleven Warriors:

Chase Young's dominant season has come to a halt.

The Ohio State defensive end "will not play in this Saturday’s game between the Buckeyes and the Maryland Terrapins due to a possible NCAA issue from 2018 that the Department of Athletics is looking into," Ohio State confirmed Friday morning.

The news was first reported by Lettermen Row's Austin Ward.

According to Lettermen Row's report, "multiple sources have indicated that the program is optimistic that Young will be cleared to return to Buckeyes this season, but a resolution for the matter still hasn’t been reached."

Young had established himself as the best defensive player in college football and a potential candidate for winning this year's Heisman Trophy after recording 29 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks, five forced fumbles and a blocked field goal in Ohio State's first eight games of the season.

Now, though, the Buckeyes will be without their best defensive player indefinitely.

Jonathon Cooper is also unavailable for this week's game due to injury, so Ohio State will be without both of its top two defensive ends against Maryland. Tyreke Smith, Tyler Friday, Zach Harrison and Javontae Jean-Baptiste are all listed as co-starters at defensive end on this week's depth chart.

If this goes back to the 2018 season, are the Bucks now winless on the season due to probable forfeits? Is the BIG10 championship and playoff berth a pipedream?

[mattash]

I hope not. Hopefully minor

[dazed&confused]

NCAA is in it's death throws. At some point, this purposeless org needs to go away. We just want to see football played at it's best.

[dazed&confused]

...and, next man up!

He’s played his last snap at Ohio State

[dazed&confused]

So we may have to vacate the wins? Does that mean the ugly loss to Purdue didn't happen?
Northwestern is now the 2018 B1G Champion?
Stop the madness!

[dazed&confused]

You mean there is gambling at the casino? I'm shocked, shocked. (Google Casablanca). Assemble the usual suspects, except Bama

If Ohio State self reported the violations in a timely manner then little chance of having to forfeit. If on the other hand, remember OSU had to vacate the 2010 season over tatgate. Rumors now are about the possibility of other players involved. (Free airfare for player's parents to 2018 Rose Bowl??)

Plus 100 for the now obscure Bogey reference.

Yea and NCAA is supposed to come down on Kansas and North Carolina for institutional violations. Haven't seen that yet! They are the biggest hypocrites. Goodbye NCAA!

You are correct D&C. Although I cling to the quaint notion of amateur student athlete, we all know it is a charade. Yet the organization and rules are what they are. Ohio State is dirty as the rest of the big name schools, but maintain an aire of purity because they self report (and we wonder why outside of Ohio, OSU is disliked for being hypocritical). The beginning of the end of the NCAA is near.

Agree, the Big timers all do it but some have better smokescreens than others. Corruption reigns !!!

Yep. Guys on the sideline are good too, or they wouldn't be there. No excuses! Keep on playing. Someone just itching to get in there to shine as well. Players are replaceable and come a dime a dozen at that level. Some where in the 60 a game dress code there is a ripe pick-un standing and waiting to get in there.
