(Joshua A. Bickel/The Columbus Dispatch via AP)COLUMBUS, Ohio – Two former Ohio State football players pleaded not guilty Thursday to charges that they held a woman against her will and raped her this month. Riep then told the woman she needed to shower before he drove her back to her home. Riep and Wint both were rising seniors and expected to compete for playing time in Ohio State's defensive backfield. In dismissing the players from the team, Ohio State coach Ryan Day said in a statement that “it is clear they did not live up to our standards and my expectations.”The program has mostly avoided major off-the-field trouble as Day begins his second year at the helm.
