running back Lorenzo Harrison III spent the first two months of his freshman season proving all the doubters wrong. Those who said he was too small to be a big-time player in the Big Ten were left silent as defenders trying to stop him were mostly left grasping air.
As it turned out, one act of immaturity by the undersized Harrison proved more of a deterrent than most of the opponents he faced in the nine games he played.
On the brink of breaking the freshman rushing record set in 1997 by the school's all-time leading rusher, LaMont Jordan, Harrison was suspended indefinitely along with teammate DJ Turner.
