Missoula, MT (Sports Network) - University of Montana football coach Mick
Delaney announced Monday that starters John Kanongata'a and Kjelby Oiland and
reserve Nick Holt have been suspended for one game for an undisclosed violation
of team rules.
The trio will not play in Saturday's Big Sky Conference game at Weber State.
Kanongata'a is a starting linebacker and Oiland a starting center. Both are
juniors.
Holt is a redshirt freshman linebacker.
"It is an unfortunate situation, but expectations are clear," Delaney said. "I
will not go in to particulars about why the three were suspended, but I can say
it does not involve law enforcement. I feel it is my responsibility to hold
players accountable."
Montana (4-5) has to win its final two games - the Grizzlies host rival Montana
State on Nov. 17 - to avoid its first losing season in 26 years.
