From Associated Press

Two Washington State linemen have been suspended by Coach Mike Price for unspecified violations of team rules.

Defensive tackle Rien Long and offensive tackle Billy Knotts were suspended Sunday, one day after Washington State lost, 25-7, to Ohio State.

Price refused to disclose details of the violations.

“Nobody got hurt but it was a selfish, disrespectful breaking of the team rule,” Price said.
