Ohio State went 3-0 without Maurice Clarett last year, in its way to a national championship. The Buckeyes may have to double that performance this season, if they want to repeat. Clarett will miss six games due to suspensions for violating NCAA rules and giving false statements to campus police, an Ohio State source told the Cleveland Plain Dealer for Saturday's editions. Neither Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger nor head coach Jim Tressel would specify Clarett's penalty or guarantee he will play for the Buckeyes this season. The school will meet with the NCAA this week to determine a more specific penalty and offer a recommendation, according to the paper. Clarett was suspended from the team for "multiple games" on Friday for his role in the exaggerated theft report. Clarett reported losses of $800 in cash and $9,500 in merchandise after a 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was burglarized in April. Clarett borrowed the car from a local dealership.
