CFB: 2 Vols offensive linemen suspended for 2 games

Associated Press

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee offensive linemen Ramone Johnson and Darius Myers have been suspended for the Volunteers' upcoming games against Georgia and Mississippi State.

Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer announced the suspensions today. He says the two are being punished for lack of academic effort and violation of team rules.

Johnson is a sophomore left tackle from Chicago who has played in every game this season as a backup to starter Chris Scott.

Myers, a sophomore guard from Cordova, hasn't played this season.

The Vols (2-3, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) travel to No. 10 Georgia (4-1, 1-1) on Saturday before hosting Mississippi State next week.
