The Tennessee Volunteers shouldn’t have much of a problem winning their season opener against Bowling Green on September 5th, but things didn’t get any easier now with their star receiver suspended for the game:
Thursday afternoon, head coach Butch Jones revealed that Alton “Pig” Howard has been suspended for the opener against Bowling Green. The only reason given was unspecified violations of team rules, although Jones did allow that the issue that triggered the suspension dates back several months.
The wide receiver will be eligible to return for the Week two matchup with No. 19 Oklahoma.
