Western Kentucky starting RB suspended for first half against FAU

Western Kentucky will be without one player for the first half of its game against Florida Atlantic on Saturday at 3:30 p.m. as a result of a brawl with Old Dominion.

Conference USA announced Monday that running back Anthony "Ace" Wales will be suspended for the first two quarters of Saturday's game. Wales was involved in a fight in the third quarter of the Hilltoppers' eventual 59-24 win over Old Dominion on Saturday, and both benches cleared to join the fray.

Wales leads the Hilltoppers with 739 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns on 113 carries.
