Louisville suspends WR James Quick for violation of team rules

Louisville sophomore wide receiver James Quick has been suspended for a violation of team rules.

The Cardinals play at Boston College on Saturday. Quick is tied for the lead in catches for the Cardinals at 31 and has the most yards on the team with 459 receiving yards. He also has three touchdowns.

However, he's not the Cardinals' main threat in the passing game. DeVante Parker, who has 17 catches is. Parker has only played in Louisville's last two games because of a foot injury and will undoubtedly be even more of a focal point of the passing attack.

Quick was a four-star recruit in the class of 2013 according to Rivals and was the top player in Kentucky and ninth-rated wide receiver overall.

Louisville is also going to be without linebacker Lorenzo Mauldin against Boston College. Mauldin, who has 6.5 sacks and 12 tackles for a loss, has a hamstring injury.
