A definitive punishment was handed down in the Chase Young case on Wednesday. Suspended for two games after the NCAA responded to the university’s appeal, he will serve the back half of that suspension on Saturday against the Rutgers Scarlet Knights.
Young reacted to the news on Twitter:
Excited to be back on the field next week! Thank you Buckeye Nation for all the love and support. I’m blessed to be a part of this team, this university, and this community. Lots of love to my family. God Bless and Go Bucks!

The star defensive end’s teammates did not miss a beat without him on Nov. 9, routing the Maryland Terrapins, 73-14.
He will be eligible to return on Nov. 23 vs. No. 9 Penn State. In eight games this season, Young has racked up an FBS-leading 13.5 sacks and 15.5 TFL.
