Oregon Ducks' Cliff Harris Suspended Indefinitely

After being cited for driving with a suspended license after being caught speeding at 118mph, the Oregon Ducks have suspended Cliff Harris indefinitely. Coach Chip Kelly said in a statement released Wednesday that Harris will be suspended for at least the season opener September4th against the LSU Tigers in Cowboy Stadium. Kelly said that Harris can reduce his suspension by adhering to the rules of the football team, but that he will definitely miss the season opener.

"Cliff's future clearly is in Cliff's hands," Kelly said. "Earning an opportunity to represent the University of Oregon and this football program certainly rests far beyond a player's ability on the field of play. Our behavior out of the spotlight often is more important and will be held to a higher standard. Until Cliff is able to conform to the same standards all of us must comply with, his status will remain unchanged." (ESPN)

This is a huge blow for the Ducks. In order to beat a very talented LSU teams, they need all their big weapons. It's a virtual home game considering how close Louisiana is to Texas compared to how close Oregon is. I still think the Ducks have a really good shot at winning this game, but they really could have used the playmaking ability of Harris.

Oregon Ducks' Cliff Harris Speeding at 118 MPH

Oh no. Cliff Harris was caught early Monday morning for driving over 100 mph. The police officer clocked him at 118 mph. To top it off, he had been driving on a suspended license. More details keep coming out about this story. Now we're learning that the car he drove was being paid for by a University of Oregon employee. It was a rental car, and Harris did offer her a check worth the amount she had paid to rent the car. This woman claims that the friend he was with showed her his license. There were two other members of the football team in the car as well.

Here's the thing. We see stuff like this all the time and it's terrible. Cliff Harris is an idiot for taking someone's car and even more of an idiot for driving with suspense. Not to mention he is even a BIGGER idiot because he was driving 118 mph. Here's a guy who is one year away from the NFL, but struggles to stay out of trouble. The more trouble he gets, the worse his NFL draft stock will be. If I were him, I would eat, sleep, and breathe football and schoolwork. Stay out of trouble Cliff, the Ducks need you. Expect head coach Chip Kelly to suspend Harris for at least the first game. This will be huge considering the Ducks' first game is against the LSU Tigers.
