HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - A Marshall defensive lineman was charged Tuesday with malicious wounding in an Aug. 22 fight outside a bar that injured an Ohio State player. Sophomore Roger Garrett was arraigned in Cabell County Magistrate Court.

"We're going to allow the court system to take its course. Roger will not make the Ohio State trip," Marshall coach Bob Pruett said.

Ohio State defensive end Redgie Arden, 22, suffered a broken nose and other facial injuries in the fight.

Marshall (0-1) plays at No. 9 Ohio State (1-0) Saturday.

Following the fight, Marshall defensive end Jonathan Goddard was arrested after allegedly shoving a police officer who tried to pull him off a Huntington man. The Huntington man was later arrested on drug and weapons charges.

Goddard pleaded not guilty to the misdemeanor last week.

FLORIDA: Florida linebacker Channing Crowder and free safety Jarvis Herring were suspended in July for the season opener. However, Gators coach Ron Zook said that suspension won't cover the new season opener against Eastern Michigan which happens to be one week before an SEC matchup with Tennessee. The No. 11 Gators were supposed to open against Middle Tennessee at home last Saturday, but that game was moved to Oct. 16 when Hurricane Frances hit.
