AUSTIN -- Starting right guard Kent Perkins, Texas' most experienced offensive lineman, will be suspended for Saturday's Big 12 opener with Oklahoma State following a DWI arrest last week.

Coach Charlie Strong said Perkins will also undergo counseling, perform community service and face internal punishment. Perkins was scheduled to address the media later Monday, Strong said.
