Alabama’s DeVonta Smith suspended one-half of matchup vs. Tennessee

For a second time, Nick Saban has to suspend DeVonta Smith.

The first one happened before Alabama took on Duke to start the season, but the incident versus Texas A&M was ‘more serious’ — according to Saban. In the second half of last week’s game between the Crimson Tide and Aggies, Smith was involved in an altercation with another player.

While the defender from Texas A&M initiated the scuffle, the junior wide receiver retaliated with a punch and was disqualified from the game.

A native of Louisiana, Smith is one of the more even keeled players on Alabama’s roster.
