University of Memphis football coach Justin Fuente today announced the suspensions stemming from the postgame brawl at last year's Miami Beach Bowl against BYU.

Linebacker Leonard Pegues received the largest suspension of the group. He will miss the entirety of Saturday's opener against Missouri State and the first half of next week's game against Kansas.
