Looks like Maurice Washington's suspension lasted exactly one half of football.The running back was on the field when Nebraska played the third quarter of their season opener against South Alabama, ending the debate on whether or not he would play at all this week.
Huskers head coach Scott Frost had said in a radio interview at halftime that Washington would join the team for the second half of the game.
Washington's appearance on the field will likely result in Frost facing questions about the decision as the player is currently facing felony child pornography charges in the state of California after being arraigned in April.
Washington was charged with a felony count of possessing a video or photograph of a person under 18 who is engaging in or simulating sexual conduct and one misdemeanor count of posting a video or photograph of a person engaging in or simulating sexual conduct without consent, leading to the person suffering emotional distress.
He was also recently cited by university police, along with three other Nebraska football players, for possession of drug paraphernalia, but none of them will face criminal charges.
Washington was third on the Huskers with 455 rushing yards and three touchdowns last season as a true freshman after being cleared to join the team last summer following some academic uncertainty issues.
