The nation's No. 1 team (per the College Football Playoff selection committee) will be without its No. 1 player (per NFL scouts) on Saturday, a self-inflicted wound to college football that could morph into something even bigger. Young released a statement saying it was a “loan from a family friend I've known since the summer before my freshman year at Ohio State.” He said he repaid the loan last year. Young was a five-star recruit, and thus a probable NFL prospect, coming out of high school.
