From Staff and Wire Reports
Running back Martin Patton of the Miami Hurricanes was suspended by Coach Dennis Erickson Thursday after being arrested on charges of credit-card fraud. Patton will miss the Orange Bowl game against Nebraska.
Patton, a sophomore, and former Miami teammate Solomon Moore were indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of running up more than $3,000 on a credit card that mistakenly was delivered to Patton’s home.
Patton was Miami’s third-leading rusher, with 242 yards, and the fifth-leading receiver, with 26 catches for 428 yards.
