(Sports Network) - Miami starting quarterback Robert Marve
and six other Hurricanes have been suspended for Thursday's season opener
against Charleston Southern.
Marve, a redshirt freshman, who was announced as the regular starter after
Sunday's practice, will miss the game due to an incident last year in which he
was arrested for smashing a car mirror. He redshirted last season after
breaking his wrist in a car crash in July 2007.
He will be replaced under center by true freshman Jacory Harris.
"Like I said before when I took the job at the University of Miami, we hold
everyone to higher standards than most teams in the country," said head coach
Randy Shannon. "We have our rules and regulations, as far as curfew, study
hall, and doing the right things in the classroom. We won't have seven players
taking part in Thursday's game for those reasons, and we'll move forward."
Running back Damien Berry, receiver Kayne Farquharson, fullback Eric Houston,
long snapper Chris Ivory, defensive lineman Adewale Ojomo and safety Randy
Phillips are also suspended, according to a school spokesman.
None of the suspended players are returning starters.
