Louisville suspends TE Mickey Crum for tonight’s game vs. Wake

As Louisville gets set to kick off its game against Wake Forest Friday, the U of L has revealed a development that will impact its starting lineup.

Just a short time ago, the Cardinals confirmed that Micky Crum has been suspended for the ACC contest against the Demon Deacons. The reason given wasn’t your standard violation of team rules; rather, Crum will be sidelined for conduct detrimental to the team.

Crum started the first six games of the season. As for a replacement, from the Louisville Courier-Journal:

U of L will use tight ends Cole Hikutini and Keith Towbridge in his place. Hikutini is a better receiver and Towbridge a better blocker.

Hikutini five catches for 86 yards, Towbridge one for 19.

Crum is currently fourth on the Cardinals in both receptions (13) and receiving yards (161), although he hasn’t recorded a catch since Sept. 26. His two receiving touchdowns are good for second on the team.
