Especially in the backfield, Colorado State will be at less than full strength for half of its postseason game.
CSU announced Saturday afternoon that it has suspended three players -- running backs Rashaad Boddie (pictured, being tackled) and Marvin Kinsey and defensive back Robert Awunganyi -- for the first half of today’s New Mexico Bowl matchup with Marshall. The only reason given was an unspecified violation of team rules.
The most noteworthy name in the trio is Boddie, whose 254 yards rushing are third on the Rams while his four rushing touchdowns are third as well. Kinsey’s 124 yards rushing are fifth on the team.
Awunganyi has not played a down this season.
As noted by the Denver Post, CSU will also be without linebacker Josh Watson for the first half as well. The redshirt junior currently leads the Rams in tackles with 103.
