Especially if they’re going to back up a rather bold proclamation, Texas A&M will need all hands on deck if it hopes to upset the reigning national champions. At least when it comes to a member of the secondary who started the same game a year ago, and was expected to do the same this season, that won’t be the case.
Debione Renfro missed Texas A&M’s season-opening win over Texas State because of a suspension. With No. 1 Clemson looming this coming Saturday, Jimbo Fisher confirmed that the starting cornerback will miss that game as well.
Renfro will end up serving a two-game suspension as the head coach acknowledged that he’ll be eligible to return to the playing field for the Week 3 matchup with FCS Lamar. The only reason given for the suspension has been your standard unspecified violation of team rules.
Jimbo Fisher said starting CB Debione Renfro will be suspended one more game, so Saturday at Clemson (two-game suspension total). Violation of teams rules.

Renfro has played in all 26 games the past two seasons. A true junior, the Pearland, Tex., native was penciled in as a starting corner prior to the suspension.
