  • his season was amazing

  • he had the best first step ive seen... hes already cut before he takes the ball. sick.

  • man that was such an amazing team, i feel bad for clarett - he coulda been great i mean just watching this video u see how talented he was, his success wasnt a fluke like some players... he did it to himself tho. i thought about him when i was watching the big10 networks best RB's of the 2000's and he was excluded from the list, i can sorta understand why because he only had one season, but at the same time that 1 season was amazing. the very definition of a waste of talent.

  • M. C. was from my high school!!!

  • @dadecountytre05 you mad bro?

  • Best season of football to watch, hands down. Mo was every bit as talented as Adrian Peterson, he hit people so hard, he tore up his own shoulders. The way he saw/hit the seams  while making people miss was uncanny. Raw talent. Wish him the best in Omaha

  • maurice clarret 2 sean taylor 0

  • FUCK OSU MIAMI GOT CHEATED OUT OF DAT NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

  • @dadecountytre05 u kink?

  • Don't get me wrong clarett was a beast but the line opened up for most of the runs

  • @timlexy Yes, the holes where there, but you have to be able to hit the holes, see the cutbacks lanes, make people miss at the second and third levels, run over some people, and outrun other people. Just being able to hit the holes at the first level is never enough. MoC punished the DBs who got in his way and wore them down as the game went on. In the locker room after the WSU game, one opposing DB told the press that attempting to tackle MoC was "like trying to tackle an SUV."

  • What could have been...but more importantly he really seems to have humbled himself big time and got his life straightened out. He won't ever be forgotten by Ohio State fans though.

  • im havin a brain fart here and cant remember this song someone tell me what it is

  • One of the most gifted instinctual football players I've ever seen. Could run, block, catch, ball-hawk on defense. Great charisma, made the team around him better with his presence and came up big in the biggest games. He made some mistakes, did his time like a man and I wish him the best.

  • i wonder what would have happened if he had won that suit and been allowed to play in the nfl

  • Regardless of the endless amount of bad decisions that Maurice Clarett has made, everytime I see him, I am left wondering what could have been. The kid could play football and he could have been so good, at the very least a dependable back. Stay in school, kids!

  • Damn what happen man........

  • What was special about Maurice Clarett was the the way he dropped his pad level at the point of contact, not to try to deliver a blow but to absorb it and bounce off. And then he would hit the jets and be gone. See at 0:45 and 1:08

  • his open field shakes are ridiculous!

  • Damn, Maurice was great. I wish he hadn't messed up his life. I liked watching him play.

  • Without a doubt his best play was him stripping the ball away after the interception that Krenzel threw. That play should be shown to evey payer on how you always give 110% on every play.

  • could have beeen the best..

  • I'm old but not too old...Clarett was 1 of the top 3 freshman RBs I have ever seen. That Buckeye team would have lost at least 3 games without him. His best play was the play against Miami after the Krenzel interception. Without him giving 100%, my Buckeyes lose that game. He will always be a legend to me for what he did on the playing field. If he keeps his head and stays at tOSU, he wins a Heisman and is forever compared to Eddie George and Archie Griffin. Truly a waste...oh well...GO BUCKS!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Damn, not only did he take the ball back... He stole it from Sean Taylor!

  • there needs to be a 30 for 30 about this guy..they could title it "the best that never was part 2"

  • Dude he will be in the nfl by next year tearing it up. Hes been boxing at my gym and the guy is a freak athlete

  • @ojbj25 Really? I would like to see him get back and turn his life around. It was a real shame he did not continue at Ohio State. He had a good chance at the Heisman.

  • @X3572

    I'm an Oklahoma Sooner fan but I pretty much agree with everything you just said. LSU is trash.

  • HE WAS SICK THAT YEAR!!! I SAW HIM TORCH ST EDS WHEN HE WAS A SENIOR AT W.G.H. HE HAS MORE CHARACTER NOW THAN MANY PRO ATHLETES IN ANY SPORT DO. I HOPE SOMEONE GIVES HIMA SHOT IN THE NFL. THERE ARE MANY SCRUB UNIT RBS IN THE LEAGUE THAT HE IS WAY BETTER THAN. HES MOTIVATED AND HUNGRY. THATS A DANGEROUS COMBINATION.

  • biggest waste of talent ever. i have no doubts that this guy would have been a superstar in the NFL. you are your own worst enemy.

  • @xmnvbvgzfgvbmghxvbds

    He's very close but the biggest waste of talent ever was Marcus Dupree

  • will he ever be back in the nfl

  • I cannot believe how good he was!!!

  • M.C. was 2good for the NFL,he skipped that and went straight 2the top..... CFL BABY all day!!!!!!!!!!!lol

  • I admire the fact he's turned his life around.

  • as a player he was amazing and its sad to see all that talent get trhown away but as a person any buckeye fan should be embarrased to know a no good piece of shit wanted to leave the best university after 2 years hes useless

  • @Gmoney19971123 cmon man we all know that LSU is by far the best university pal...and its in the best conference SEC all day....big 10 aint shit..bunch of softies....truth hurts pal....

  • @Change4Better88 LSU eats my ass

  • I keep reading alot of comments that say the tacklers suck. Well if you really follow sports, the great ones always make people look stupid (Reggie Bush, Adrian Peterson, Gayle Sayers, Barry Sanders etc.) You can even look at other sports that make people look ridiculous ( Micheal Jordan, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc.) So really cant knock him for that. The reason M.C. failed was because of his issues off the field & when your a dumbass... no one can help you.

  • No offense to M.C but some of these players absolutely suck at tackling and I mean SUCK!! So many of these highlights should have never happened. BUT! All the more power to M.C it's too bad he got himself into the mess that he did.

  • @Viper102650 No offense taken! I'm sure you could have tackled Maurice much better than the players that SUCK. What kind of comment is this? Are you a hater trying to make your team look better? Trying to take away from MC? Try writing a better comment next time. This first effort couldn't be much worse.

  • Watching him walk gingerly away with the ball after stripping it from Sean Taylor is without doubt one of my favorite Clarett memories.

  • soooooooo much potential

  • youtube.com/watch?v=FqrCl0D01Q­Y

  • Million dollars in talent, anybody could see that when he played. Could have been one of the greats for OSU, still was a big part of the national championship team. Can't take that away from him. Would have loved to see what he could have done had he avoided all the problems.

  • Was good in college but never  good in the NFL..dude was a bust.

  • @yeaboi55 thats cause he never played in the NFL, signed a contract and then was waived

  • @yeaboi55 probably because he never played in the NFL, and he only played as freshman in college

  • @yeaboi55 lol he nvr played in the nfl cause of problems he got himself into...and he wasnt good he was great. hes the main reason why ohio state won the national championship.

  • keep comin back mc

  • wish he would've stayed out of trouble. that man had alot of potential

  • cam newton is better.....just saying

  • @PapaSmurf9028 cam newton is a qb?

  • sick video, terrible song, an all too common theme on youtube

  • he could have easly won a heisman if he wasnt so stuped, and could have also been a heck on a nfl player but he made mistakes and had to pay for it

  • What a shame that he threw his future away. I think he could have been such a great star in the NFL but we'll probably never see any highlights other than these old ones.

  • such a waste of talent. he will never be as good as he once was.

  • best runner i have ever seen... and the best play i have ever seen when he stripped the ball from sean taylor

  • Comment removed

  • after his 1 yr. contracts up in omaha he's goanna end up in the nfl, just wait and see. the injury bug will hit and teams will be desperate for running backs. apparently he hasnt lost a step whilst incarcerated...

  • that play that clarett made after taylor intercepted that pass was one of the greatest heads-up plays of all time in my opinion. i remember watching it happen and just thinking about how quickly he had to notice that taylor didnt have the ball tucked and go for the strip. and then to see him run through taylor for the final score, little did he know taylor would go on to become one of the hardest hitting safetys in the NFL. both were great players.

  • man thanks for uploading this. people should be aware of how great of a football player this guy is, he is gonna rip the UFL up.

  • Hope his shot in Omaha can get his life back on track

  • i dont know why people were so surprised by his 40 times, you can see that he isn't running passed anybody in these highlights. he scored all those td's with quickness, great balance and great vision. im sure the year off slowed him down a bit but even during his freshman season he probably didn't run anything faster than a 4.5 or 4.6

  • @out4deadprzidnts i think what makes the video more insane is that he's doing all this shit as a freshman. i get blown away thinking someone only 2 years younger than myself doing all that shit at the D1 level anywhere lol

  • Its said to see such a talented athlete throw it all away from bad decisions. I really thought he was going to win a Heisman for Ohio State... Go Bucks!

  • I hope he can make a "come back" move to help him live up to his dreams. No doubt this guy is special and was a major contributer in that 2002 National Champs!

    Welcome back Maurice, welcome back.

  • coming soon to Omaha

  • lol forgot bout this guy he FAILED

  • @ps3animalfunds haha that's great

  • A Man amongst Boys.............Thanx for the Post.

  • good vid! would of loved to see him playing on Sundays!

  • he could of been the next 2 time heiisman winner...

  • This song goes so well with MC and the entire 02 squad.

  • it really sucksk that he turned out to be an idiot

  • This is fun to watch. He wasn't the fastest back but he was slippery as an eel and it took several guys to bring him down. The high school footage is even funnier. He could have had one hell of a career if his head was screwed on straight. I would still like to see him get a season or two in the UFL/CFL now that he is outta prison. alas, it is probably too late. Arena?

  • cutback @ 1:35 was sick.....this guy shouldve been kept in a giant cage with weights and a treadmill with a sign on the door that said open in case of football game.

  • thanks for putten this showcase of M. C. on for all to see unlike lebron james aginst the celtics he didnt quit when his team needed him may have make a mistake or 2 but he played as hard as he could all the time and now he has done his time forgiveness is free

  • This man is a beast

    If he would have kept out of trouble.

    He would have been one of the greatest college and nfl backs of all time.

    He reminds me of barry sanders

  • @koolaideus lebron had a triple double.....but clarett is nasty

  • Clarett, I grew up with him in Youngstown Ohio...also played little league with him and knew his mother. He made a bad mistake that noone can judge but God, we all fall short sometimes because noone is immune to the trials and tribulations of life, noone....On another note, when he played for the buckeyes and help us win a National Championship is another thing, He will always be a OSU Buckeye..no matter how anyone feels....Good luck with your degree Maurice...Dre Peace

  • For what this was worth, OSU fans saw something that made them smile. An unselfish back that was hardcore as a freshman and wrapped himself around his/his teams accomplishments. He was NFL material, He had a future, He busted his rear... But what he did not take advantage of was the coaching and development he would have gained at OSU. He didn't take advantage of his fans that pushed him to do his best. Kids, please take his example and do your best... He has nothing to look forward to, you do..

  • 3 time national champ and a 2 time heisman winner he would have been...

  • Maurice Clarett was a great workhorse runningback who knew how to play smash-mouth football and deliver a hit instead of taking one. As an Ohio State fan, I am saddened by what happened to him, and I know how much contribution he gave to that 14-0 National Championship team. If it weren't for him, OSU might not even have played in the Fiesta Bowl that year. It also angers me by all of the haters out there. I say thank you, Maurice, for all you have given to Ohio State University football. O-H

  • @vegito789 I-O!!!!

  • What a beast he was at OSU. Could have been one of  the best backs in the NFL along side AP. What a career he could have had if he stayed in school for another year or 2..

  • so much talent wasted.. what a dumbass

  • He's got to feel awful knowing that if he had just been dedicated to football and kept his focus and stayed in school for another 2 years he could have been a top 5 pick and be making 8 million a year. Now he is just getting out of prison and has to live a blue collar life where he will be lucky to make 8 million in his entire life time.

  • hes back at tosu now........ oh goodness :/ im scared

  • if you ever get to see this m. c. thanks for being a buckey i remember watchen you in high skcool your awsome

  • what a waste

  • he had so much talent that got wasted. if he woulda kept it all together then he would be starting in the nfl for somebody

  • Recess was a good show

  • @breakfast888 recess was the shiznit

  • I'd take Clarett over Beanie Wells if I had to choose between them. Both in the same backfield would be downright SCARY!

  • this dude was incredible, I'd consider it one of the greatest tragedies in OSU football for what happened to him after this season

  • Clarett stripping Sean Taylor (R.I.P.) of that interception will go down as a legendary play. Mo's saga just goes to show that you have to make the right choices, bcuz it doesnt matter how good you are when u break the law and do all the other stuff that he did.. i think OSU would have won back-to-back championships if he had played the next year :(

  • he was a beast!!!

  • Dude is out of prison

  • ass hole

  • hhhhheeeeeeeyyyyyyy!!!!!! DISNEY'S RECESS!.......I LOVED THAT SHOW GROWING UP!!!! wasnt to fond of the pet shop though!!

  • had he stayed in college, not been such a fucking retard and try and go to the NFL, and followed the law, he would without a doubt be the best running back in history. if he was this fucking good his freshman year, who knows how much better he would be in the NFL. what an idiot.

  • Best college player I've ever seen.

  • god i cry when i think of the talent that guys like him waste... its sad i would have loved to have seen him at the pro level

  • his explosivness....just wow.

  • He had the best vision of any, buckeye ever.

  • sometimes athletes think they are better than everyone and can get away with anything. like tiger woods

  • i almost feel sorry for him. sometimes athletes think they're so great and better than everyone else they can get away with anything

  • I definitely don't think he is going to get a tryout. Why you ask? He isn't getting out of jail till 2014. It's highly unlikely. Ha ha. Really funny post. Where ever you got that info from was horribly reported.

  • Him AP and Trent Richardson were 3 of the best true freshman RB's I've ever seen. Can't believe he let his talent go to waste..

  • WOW HE BLEW IT..

  • He is suppose to get a tryout coming upon his release with the Philadelphia Eagles and the unknownst about Westbrook.

  • i miss this kid

  • he 4sure wulda been 1 tha best runnin baks

  • uum does 31-24 double overtime brings back a bad memory i know it wld 4 me if i was a cane fan but im not im a bucks fan week 2 score 38-17 ohio st on top

  • and he did all of that while at a .3 blood alcohol content ..just imagine if he was sober

  • makes me sick to watch such wasted talent. amazing one year though, won a national championship against a great team that had a bunch of nfl stars on the defense.

  • He sure was a talent. Too bad

  • What a waste of talent!!!!

  • you just said a mouthful my friend this guy had it and shitted it all away!! tryouts my ass, i hope he can still hack it.....well i really dont give a shit either way!!!LMFAO

  • i workout with the strength and conditioning coach who was at ohio state when clarett was a freshman, and he said thar clarett could squat over 800 pounds abd bench over 400

  • say what you wanna say about clarett but i seen this man play at harding high and watched all his collage games i love my bucks but they would have never got that far without clarett he could have been one of the best players of football collage and nfl had he not messed up

  • I love Ohio State, but fuck Clarett

  • Mo ripping the ball from Sean Taylor might be the greatest play of my OSU fanhood. I can't think of one better.

  • he would have won a heisman if he wasnt a dumbass

  • If he had played in all the games that year he probably would have had about 1500-1700 yards...What a shame he could have been one of the best

  • god, he had the potential to be a great runningback. if he doesnt fuck up, he easily wins the heisman and probably another national championship. what i liked about him is how much heart he had.

  • I'll always have Mo to thank for the Buckeyes winning it all that year, could not have done it without him...thanks Mo

  • especially with that stripped ball hahah

  • beast!!!!!!! omfg dumb guy tho wtf always locked up D; but was one of the best rbs... that wr did good to fixin to watch some of his videos D: smokin n watchin youtube best sunday lol

  • that nigga could run but he also could be the dumbs mother fucker to live

  • FUCK Maurice Clarett and FUCK the Bukeyes Miami Hurricanes ALL DAY. We comin for the Buck Eyes head week 2 next season.

  • lol ok

    31-24, national champs baby

  • its all about the Noles man!

  • you spelled buckeyes wrong. FAIL!

  • Haha still mad about that wonderful victory by the bucks?

    FUCK ACC!

    Big Ten All Day!

  • could have been the greatest running back in college football history. What an idiot...

  • did clarett put OSU and Andy Gieger in a bad light or did the other 20 plus OSU players that got arrested do that? sure clarett messed up but to be banished from OSU was more severe than any other punishment that any other player got

  • ...man, he'd do good, he just had to mess his career up...man, i wish i could see him in the NFL playing

  • Anyone who takes joy seeing a great athlete like this separated from his sport--after only one year--has no heart, vision or sense of what sports are about. The Canes were and are a great team. I don't want to see any of them wreck their lives. I hate it that some fans rejoice in Mo's tragic downfall. Sad.

  • @jblacktree quit feeling sad for this dumb bitch. attempted robbery and murder and you defend him. Maurice is the one with no heart.

  • @ddddddd543 Go back to ann arbor and drown in piss water. You FUCKING Pisserine.

  • @sac3074 congrats. you've managed to "insult" me with the word piss. get an education and quit defending this piece of shit. clarett is garbage and so is anybody who defend him

  • @ddddddd543 Maurice is gone to finish his time less six on good behavior. Leave the man alone. Who are you to judge Maurice Clarett's heart!!!!!!!

  • @sac3074 well he tried to murder some one. i don't know the guy but i'm going to have an opinion of him

  • @sac3074 Correction Maurice is gone to finish his time less than six months on good behavior. Good luck Mo!!!

  • @jblacktree has nothing to do with canes they lost 8years ago ha ha, cain fans still cry about that, they lost, and was dominated by a freshman ha ha that ruined his dream and career by being an idiot, probally would have been a beast, but key words would have, he was imature

  • @CavySean Maurice for sure DID NOT dominate Miami...it was our D that dominated Miami...Maurice helped but he most def did not dominate! Craig was the leading rusher! Maurice fucked up his life...its a sad thing when a athlete with SO MUCH potential fucks up his life! I dont feel bad for him one bit! He made his bed and how he must lay in it!

  • @jblacktree He did it to himself, he gambled with his career and lost. Do you feel sympathy for all the chumps in casinos who blow their life savings on video poker too? People who make dumb choices in life should be held accountable. Play by the rules or pay the price.

  • @crono916 Self-righteous jerk. I hope you get held accountable for your dumb choices, and I'm sure you've made plenty. That's called being human. When we hurt others, or animals, as with Vick, then I understand outrage. Your acrimony is just pious sanctimonious glaoting.

  • @jblacktree You self imposing benighted asshole. I still can't believe there are people out there who are completely impervious to the way the REAL world works. The margin for error is very thin. There are many people in this world who fall from grace and get back up to become stronger. This man you are so inclined on defending turn to a life of crime and violence. And don't you dare take 1 sec to assume i take pleasure in his demise either before you try and lecture me.

  • @crono916 You don't write well. You don't mean "benighted" and "...margin for error is very thin," is a cliche in concept and utterance. Your "REAL" world is a hellish place, I'm sure. I am not "inclined on defending." I am inclined to correctly define the motives of those who cast blame, and with relish. Grace? Strength?Mo has returned to school and applied to the courts to play semi-pro football. I wish him well. You can tsk tsk your way to hell.

  • @jblacktree You don't spell very well. I'm pretty sure glaoting isn't a word. Pretentious douche bag. Call the concept a cliche but last time i checked it fits perfectly within the framework of an athlete trying to turn pro. It's amazing how far ignorance will take people. For you to continue to sit there and assume that his downfall brings me some kind of enjoyment further illustrates the restless world in which you live in. Judging by your last sentence you've sunk lower then Mo. I pity you.

  • @crono916

    "Last time I checked"?

    "...within the framework"?

    "It's amazing how far ignorance will take people."--Yes. Yes indeed. "...the restless world in which you live in..." Live and Let Die?

    Nice that you've adopted the squirmy, pre-teen, misongynistic soubriquet du jour, "douche bag." Tasteful.

    Go away.

    Leaping on a typo?

  • @jblacktree "That's called being human." Ohhhhh the Irony , a typical whiny cliche one uses when they refuse to atone for their mistakes. Really friend? Because you are perfect. Mr. Walking hypocrisy over here. Picking apart what i say huh, someone's running out of ammo.

  • man...he was so good too.

  • Agonizing to see that he fucked up. I loved to see him play at Warren and at OSU, but he really put a bad light on OSU and Andy Gieger.

  • Who are you to talk about thugs? Your name is miamicanes - posted 2 years ago. Mo wasn't a thug, and neither was ST, but hes the one who got shot in the face.

  • name one miami player thats got in trouble recently

  • ST - got blown out. In the NFL he consistently caught fines and suspensions to Helmet-to-Helmet hits and not wearing the proper jersey. Remember Miami - FIU? The Anthony Reddick helmet? Yea.

  • dirty 13 will be back. hes gettin his prison practice in. We miss ya M.C.!

  • this is mad depressing to watch. what would osu have been with him for 2 more years?

  • I thought the same thing for a long while, well 2003 could have been another NC appereance.

  • he was such a beast. hes just an idiot

  • this fuckin cat, i feel sorry for him, he had it all, why go into the fl when osu is fuckin payin u? straight up fuckin dumbass and waste of great talent, ima miami fan too and in 2002 osu wouldnt have won the national champ without this cat

  • Agreed. As an OSU fan, he was the backbone of our offense.

  • the kid was unstoppable,he missed like 3 games and still had 1600 yards..but yet a dumbass

  • he only had 1200

  • he only played in 8 games

  • Best RB in college football history behind Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Hershel Walker, Bo Jackson, OJ, Archie Griffin. The kid was a beast. I didn't want to believe the hype, but seeing is believing. Literally unstoppable. Amazing stats on the season for a freshman, and he even missed a few games. Only problem- he'd have been at the top of the list if he'd been more patient and stayed in school.
