Two State Defenders Suspended

Mario Bobo and Fred Akines have been suspended indefinitely by Croom. Bobo started at safety for the first four games of the season before being limited to a back up role against LSU due to a knee injury and redshirt freshman linebacker Akines had seen mostly special teams duty this season.

The loss of Akines won't be felt nearly as much as Bobo, who was one of the few bright spots in a very thin corps of safeties.

Croom is not giving any reason for the suspensions, but internet rumors are swirling that the two were involved in an altercation with Josh McNeil last weekend. McNeil is the little brother of starting State center Chris McNeil and a freshman offensive lineman who is currently redshirting at UT.
