Coker Suspended From Team

Vols' running back LaMarcus Coker has been suspended indefinitely by the University of Tennessee due to substance abuse issues. Thankfully that substance according to sources has nothing to do with his last name. Coker will have to meet a number of conditions to be reinstated to the football team.

Coker the leading rusher last season for Tennessee was expected to vie for a majority of the carries this season. He was described often as 'the big play back' in the offense who had broken multiple long runs in the 2006 season. Instead it looks as though those carries will now be split between 2005 leading rusher bruiser Arian Foster and Montario Hardesty who is fully recovered from knee surgery after struggling through his last season.
