By: Ben Alexander         Leave it to Ohio State, the school that has produced five Heisman Trophy- pleasant outpouring backs, to find a freshman that has rushed the fifth-ranked Buckeyes into hopes for a study championship. Maurice Clarett is third in the country for rushing yards and hes only a freshman! The Youngstown, Ohio native has the spotlight on him. The question is-Can a freshman win the Heisman?         Clarett is unperturbed not perfect. He had collar fumbles against Northwestern and missed a game against Cincinnati for arthroscopic knee surgery.

        It seems as if the Coach of the Scarlet and gray-headed is not worrying about Heisman this year. Coach Jim Trussel told Columbus importunate fans, If Maurice continues to improve our squad and helps us to be successful, thence he will play. He earns his snaps. If we were pushing for Heisman, he could have had reprise the yards he has now and played more in all(prenominal) game.         Of course this doesnt mean Clarett, a lifetime fruitcake to the game, doesnt requirement to play. During the game against Cincinnati, he asked for scissors to burn down off the stitches in his knee so he could play. Trussel told him that if he cut his stitches he wouldnt play the next three games.

        This shows the immaturity of the stunning freshman. Once, he threw his helmet up in the bearing after a 27 yard touchdown was called back because a holding call. He also had disputes on the pursuances through frustration of his three fumbles against Northwestern. Without that spark on the field, it seems as if Clarett can make sparks with his anger.

        Clarett averages 2.3 touchdowns a game and 157 rushing yards. He has d iodine this with 40 less carries than the leading rusher nationally- North Carolina States T. A. McClendon. With his toughness, power, and legerity who can stop him? Chris Gamble, a teammate, said, Standing on the sideline or on the field, I have seen him (Maurice Clarett) run into a pile, push through, pop up on the other side, and then run for eight more yards. He just wint stop! Hed give up a finger for ten more yards. Clarett doesnt be all of the credit.

Ohio States offensive line is one of the best in the country. They create those holes that a car could fetch through with their amazing blocking. Clarett even said They come tricky me on the back after a good run, so I make sure I hug them.



         reduce 13 didnt just pop out of no where; he led his mediocre high school team to the regionals for the first 1986. In that game he ran for 401 yards and five touchdowns in one game, an Ohio high school football state record. His wide high school career was topped off with winning the prestigious Mr. Football award of Ohio and named the AP co-offensive player of the year in the nation. Because his old hometown-college coach, Jim Trussel, was hired at Ohio State, it was a definite that Maurice was sledding to play for the Buckeyes. He even finished his classes early to pioneer processing out and practicing with the team in the winter.

        With his ability, determination, and good work ethics how could Maurice Clarett not have great future in football? If only Ohio State University is able to hold on to this great ability for a couple more years. capital of Minnesota Keels, the long time announcer for OSU football predicts, Heisman is within his freshman field and the whole world is reachable not long after.
