Tennessee’s secondary will be forced to get younger against Ohio, as senior defensive back Malik Foreman will not play due to being suspended. The suspension was announced just prior to kickoff.
According to Patrick Brown of the Chattanooga Times Free Press, Foreman’s suspension stems from a violation of team rules:
