Tennessee suspends wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers

Tennessee has suspended star wide receiver Da'Rick Rogers for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Rogers was an all-Southeastern Conference selection last year with 67 catches for 1,040 yards and nine touchdowns.

The junior from Calhoun, Ga., doesn't appear on the depth chart Tennessee released Thursday for its Aug. 31 season opener with North Carolina State at the Georgia Dome. Cordarrelle Patterson, a transfer from Hutchinson (Kan.) Community College, likely would start in Rogers' place.

I've been an admirer of coach Dooley ever since he took the job at ewe tee, and this reinforces that admiration. Coach Dooley is on the hot seat and he suspends one of the team's biggest stars.

You have to think a bit more of a guy that does something like that when having a decent season is on the line.

I have a great deal of respect for how Dooley has tried to run the Tennessee program since he got there. With that said, this is more then likely his last season

I agree, uk9698. Tennesseans put the same emphasis on fb as Kentuckians do on bb. I'd say the Vols will have to win at least eight games to save Dooley's job.
