Zach Logan, 18, was charged Sunday. Officials with Vanderbilt said Tuesday he was on indefinite suspension from the team.
Vanderbilt spokeswoman Elizabeth Latt said the university is investigating and declined to comment further. Coach Bobby Johnson also declined comment.
According an affidavit from the Vanderbilt Police Department, Logan became aggressive with others after he entered a dorm elevator.
Police said he punched Kevin Loos in the face, forcing him to fall. Loos suffered a head injury and was bleeding from the back of his skull when officers arrived.
Logan also was charged with assaulting another elevator passenger, James Goodell. The 6-foot-1, 220-pound Logan has not played in the first two games this season and was likely going to be redshirted. The Wilson, Ark., native was recruited as a running back and linebacker.
Kentucky receiver Burton out for season LEXINGTON, Ky. - Kentucky wide receiver Keenan Burton will miss the rest of the season with a broken left wrist.
The sophomore was hurt in practice Aug. 31, and he's scheduled to have surgery Thursday, coach Rich Brooks said.
Burton had 20 catches for 221 yards and two touchdowns last season, making him the Wildcats' second-leading returning receiver. The top receiver back, Tommy Cook, injured his knee during spring practice and is out for the season.
Burton caught two passes for 13 yards in Kentucky's loss to Louisville, then only returned kickoffs against Indiana. Brooks said the school will apply to the NCAA for a medical hardship for Burton, so that he can have the season of eligibility restored.
Linebacker Dustin Williams, the team's second-leading tackler last season, will see extensive action Saturday against Florida. The junior pulled a hamstring in preseason and missed the Louisville game. He played briefly against Indiana, making one tackle.
Rebs' Flowers suffers kidney laceration JACKSON, Miss. - Ole Miss coach David Cutcliffe said leading receiver Bill Flowers will not play Saturday against Wyoming.
Flowers suffered a kidney laceration in last week's win against Vanderbilt. Flowers caught 10 passes for 75 yards against the Commodores, and has 13 receptions for 107 yards on the season.
Mike Espy and Kerry Johnson could switch over to take Flowers' spot on the weak side, Cutcliffe said, and Frank Clayton might work into the rotation.
Cutcliffe said he discussed the status of about 20 players with the team trainers.
"We continue to have a long list of injured players right now," Cutcliffe said.
The Rebels hope the exuberance of the overtime win over Vanderbilt spills over to their longest trip west in nearly 40 years.
"That taste of victory was sweet to everyone," coach David Cutcliffe said Monday. "The win makes us more energetic on the practice field and more anxious to go back to work. It certainly could've been like pulling teeth otherwise."
Ole Miss (1-2) has added bounce in preparing for a 1,300-mile trip to Laramie, Wyo. to play Wyoming in the Rebels' westernmost game since the 1967 Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas.
"I hope Saturday's effort will energize our upcoming practices," Cutcliffe said. "At times last week, it was a struggle at practice. I don't anticipate any of that this week."
Extra points
- LSU coach Nick Saban continues to waffle on selecting a starting quarterback. Though freshman JaMarcus Russell is the sixth in the SEC in passing efficiency (24-of-56 for 419 yards, four TDs and one interception), Saban insists he sees no difference in Russell and senior starter Marcus Randall (16-for-34 for 170 yards, two TDs and one interception). "Both guys do some things well, both make some mistakes they need to improve on," Saban said. "We'll continue to work both guys because we believe in both guys."
- When Auburn senior quarterback Jason Campbell led a fourth-quarter touchdown drive to beat LSU, he got the monkey off his back that he couldn't win a big game. Campbell hit two big passes to Courtney Taylor on the game-winning drive vs. LSU, a 14-yard pass on fourth-and-14 and a 16-yard TD. "We've lost some close ones in the past, down at Florida and here against Georgia," Campbell said. "It felt good for us to finally get over that hump."
- With all of Georgia's offensive weapons, from senior quarterback David Greene to senior receiver Fred Gibson, the 3-0 Bulldogs have scored 33 points in their last two games. That's the bad news. The even worse news is that the Bulldogs haven't held anything back offensively for upcoming games against LSU on Oct. 2 and Tennessee on Oct. 9. "I'd love to say we're saving the good stuff for later, but that's not the case," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "We just haven't done a great job of moving the ball."
- In exchange for a five-game series in Little Rock at $500,000 per year, Arkansas has allowed Louisiana-Monroe to designate itself as the home team for those games, starting with last Saturday's game. Because of that, the attendance of 55,562 is counted in Louisiana-Monroe's attendance figures, helping them meet the Division 1-A eligibility requirement of averaging at least 15,000 in a minimum of five home games. "It's a win-win for both schools," Arkansas athletic director Frank Broyles said.
- In an online survey conducted by The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., more than 72 percent of the public voted that Syvelle Newton should start over Dondrial Pinkins at quarterback Saturday against Troy.
