SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- In the prime strength-on-strength battle of the Battlefrog Fiesta Bowl between Notre Dame's rushing offense and Ohio State's rushing defense, the Buckeyes will show up shorthanded. They won't have the services of defensive tackles Adolphus Washington and Tommy Schutt.
Washington, one of the best DTs in the Big Ten, has been suspended after he was arrested for solicitation of a prostitute in a vice-squad sting earlier this month, while Schutt is out with a broken foot.
