Miami linebackers won’t be at full strength vs. UC
By Pete Conrad
The Miami RedHawks will need every defensive weapon available Saturday when they face the Cincinnati Bearcats, who rank second in the nation in passing yards and seventh in total offense.
Unfortunately for the RedHawks, they won’t have them all. Senior linebacker Caleb Bostic has been suspended for a week for a violation of team rules, coach Mike Haywood said today after practice.
“It’s more important that you get an education than play football,” Haywood said.
Bostic, who was among the Mid-American Conference leaders in tackles two years ago, has appeared in only two games this year. He did not make the trip to Western Michigan due to an injury. His 13 tackles is sixth-best on the team.
The 10th-ranked Bearcats will be the highest-ranked football team ever to play in Oxford.
