Good for Coker for suspending them against a big opponent instead of holding their suspension off for an easy opponent.
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Four Miami Hurricane players, including running back Tyrone Moss and receiver Ryan Moore, were suspended for the Sept. 4 season opener against Florida State because they violated team policy.
Linebacker James Bryant and receiver Rashaun Jones also were suspended, coach Larry Coker said Tuesday.
Moore's suspension will include the second game of the season against Florida A&M. He was suspended for the Peach Bowl at the end of last season.
Coker declined to say what prompted the punishment.
"It's all the same incident," he said. "The message is pretty clear: We have high standards here. We're a program of quality kids. And these kids are good kids. They're not bad kids. But we've got to get this message across."
