Senior starting linebacker Deon Clarke is among three players suspended by Virginia Tech for Saturday's Camping World Independence Bowl, coach Frank Beamer announced.
Clarke and wide receiver Kevin Asante were suspended for unspecified reasons after the team's first night at the bowl game site in Shreveport, Louisiana, according to The Washington Post. Wide receiver Demitri Knowles didn't travel with the team after being late to practices and meetings.
"To me, all those little things are a sign of this game is important or not important," Beamer said.
