Earlier today we noted that Wyoming had suspended its second-leading rusher for today’s game. A few hours later, the Cowboys’ opponent has done the same.
According to the San Jose Mercury News, San Jose State has suspended Jarrod Lawson for the game this afternoon against Wyoming. Head coach Ron Caragher is expected to address the suspension, including its length, after the game.
For now, it will go down as your prototypical “violation of unspecified team rules.”
This could, though, go deeper than just one game. Earlier this year, Lawson was suspended for the first two games of the season.
Despite playing in just three games, Lawson is second on the team with 149 yards rushing. Lawson was easily the Spartans’ leading rusher last season, with his 788 yards outpacing Thomas Tucker‘s 338.
