ARLINGTON, Tex. (WCMH) -- The No. 7 Ohio State Buckeyes are a few hours away from its Cotton Bowl matchup against No. 9 Missouri and we now know its biggest star will not play.
OSU receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is out for Friday night's bowl game against the Tigers in what seemingly will be his last game as a member of the Buckeyes.
