SMU Suspends Running Back

{fshare id=5637}

SMU suspended running back K.C. Nlemchi for a violation of unspecified team rules, interim coach Tom Mason confirmed Thursday.

The winless Mustangs now face Cincinnati on Saturday without the services of their second-leading rusher.

Mason said the earliest Nlemchi could return would be Oct. 25 against Memphis.

Nlemchi had won the starting job during the Mustangs’ bye week.
