Suspended Alabama RB Tyren Jones arrest on marijuana possession
Alabama's week just got a little bit worse.
Running back Tyren Jones, who was already serving a team suspension, was arrested Tuesday for marijuana possession, the third arrest for the Tide since Saturday morning.
Jones was suspended on Feb. 10 for what coach Nick Saban called "conduct not to the standard of the Alabama football program." He has not been working out with the program.
According to AL.com, which obtained the arrest report, police stopped Jones and smelled marijuana in his car. Jones had a small amount of marijuana in the pocket of his pants, but officers also found digital scales in the Dodge Challenger belonging to Brandon Lee Hansberry, who also was arrested.
Jones was charged with second-degree possession of marijuana and was released on $1,000 bond.
On Saturday morning, safety Geno Smith was arrested for DUI and later that day, Jonathan Taylor was charged with domestic violence. Taylor was dismissed from the team on Sunday and Smith was suspended. Saban said Smith would have to earn his way back.

Urban Meyer: Ohio State could use 'specialty quarterback'
His depth chart at the position is incredibly crowded with Braxton Miller, J.T. Barrett and Cardale Jones and Meyer admitted Tuesday he could use one in the same way he used Tim Tebow at Florida in 2006 to complement the starter.
“You might have a specialty quarterback. That’s kind of what we did in 2006 (at Florida),” Meyer said per Cleveland.com. “That was kind of two different skill sets, a very unique situation, a very ego-less approach to the game. One quarterback drives them down, the other guy comes in and is the goal-line quarterback, but it worked.”
Meyer is referring to Chris Leak and Tebow, who was a freshman at the time and was mainly used as a runner. How that would translate to the 2015 Buckeyes – a team with three accomplished passers – is anybody’s guess.
Jones, who led the Buckeyes to a national title after Miller and Barrett were injured, is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds. He could potentially fit into the Tebow mold where he is used to run over defenders and into the end zone while also presenting a passing threat.
Meyer certainly has a tough decision ahead, but he still has time with the season still five months away. Not to mention, Miller (shoulder) and Barrett (foot) are still on the mend from their respective injuries and have not been at full strength during the spring.
“I’ve thought about that a little bit,” Meyer said. “I think it’s one day at a time right now. That’s get Braxton healthy, get J.T. as many reps as he can, and Cardale, he’s only played three games.”
Once all three are healthy, that quarterback competition will be one of the top storylines in college football.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney loves his moped anonymity
Attention residents of Clemson, S.C., we have a game for you. Notice coach Dabo Swinney on his moped.
After safety Jabar Johnson wore a non-contact jersey at practice on Monday after he had an incident with a moped, Swinney was asked about his scooter opinion. Instead of pontificating about the risks of the automated transportation, he supported the method.
"They have to handle their business," Swinney said via TigerIllustrated.com. "Wear helmets and be safe whether you're in a car or a moped or a bike. Sometimes there are things you don't control. I ride a moped, wear a helmet. I cruise all over town and nobody knows who I am. I love it. It's fun."
If Swinney isn't noticed much, he must not have an "I troll South Carolina" sticker on his helmet or have his scooter painted in bright Clemson orange with tiger paw logos plastered all over it. And we're also assuming the "wear helmets" advice doesn't apply to a car. Because it'd be pretty hard to be anonymous at an intersection if you're the driver wearing a helmet.

UCLA WR Devin Lucien to transfer
UCLA's Devin Lucien will play at a different school in 2015.
The Bruins' third-leading receiver in terms of receptions in 2014 has decided to transfer according to the Los Angeles Times. He could graduate in the summer and be immediately eligible at his new school.
Per BruinSportsReport.com, Lucien said "a lot" went into his decision to make the move out of UCLA though he didn't get into specifics. In 2014, he had 29 catches for 225 yards and two touchdowns.
While losing a receiver with over 20 catches is rarely considered a positive, UCLA is well-equipped to handle his departure. While Lucien was third on the team in catches, he was sixth in yards. All five of the players ahead of him in the yardage column are returning for 2015.
Lucien's most productive season was his redshirt junior year. After redshirting in 2011, he had 29 catches combined in 2012 and 2013. According to BruinSportsReport, Arizona State is a candidate to be his transfer destination. If he moves to the Sun Devils, he could be the second high-profile player to transfer in-conference if Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock moves to Michigan. The Wolverines have been considered a strong candidate for Rudock's services as he's a graduate transfer.

Temple's Praise Martin-Oguike given extra year of eligibility
Praise Martin-Oguike will be a redshirt junior in 2015 after he was given an extra year of eligibility by the NCAA.
Martin-Oguike, a key contributor for Temple's defensive line in 2014, missed both the 2012 and 2013 seasons. In 2014, he had 37 tackles and 7.5 sacks.
"I said throughout this process that I just want to get back to the life I had before," Martin-Oguike said in a Temple statement. "There was a path that I was on, to play four years of college football and get my college degree, then hopefully, have an opportunity to play at the next level. I'm working towards that goal and I'm very thankful that I'm back on that path."
He missed those two seasons because of rape allegations. In 2012, he was accused of sexual assault in his dorm room and expelled from Temple. As the case moved on, prosecutors in 2013 withdrew the charges of forcible rape, false imprisonment and other offenses because of a lack of evidence. Martin-Oguike's attorney had said the relationship with the woman was consensual.
His attorney also said that one of the reasons the charges were withdrawn was inconsistency in the woman's text messages. Martin-Oguike had allegedly texted the woman about the incident and the attorney had said she wasn't truthful about the incident in texting others.
Martin-Oguike was reinstated to Temple in January 2014.
"I can't imagine what Praise and his family were put through from the time those accusations were made," Temple coach Matt Rhule said. "Hopefully he - and the rest of our players for that matter - learn from that experience how close they are to having the privilege of playing college athletics taken away. Fortunately, in this instance, Praise has been able to restore his life and his reputation. He has done everything we've asked of him since returning to the team."
