Due to an incident in which he stepped on the face of an opposing player, Tennessee football wide receiver Jauan Jennings will be suspended for the first half of the Vols’ bowl game, regardless of where they go and who they play. The SEC announced the suspension Wednesday evening.
Jennings stepped on the face of Vanderbilt Commodores punt returner Justice Shelton-Moseley with just over three minutes left to go in the game and UT firmly in control, 28-10. Whether or not the stomp was intentional is impossible to prove, which is why the first-half suspension is highly questionable.
