Texas suspends two players before Alamo Bowl
Two Texas players were suspended a day before the Valero Alamo Bowl game against Oregon State for breaking team rules, and multiple media outlets indentified those two suspended players as quarterback Case McCoy and linebacker Jordan Hicks.
McCoy is the brother of NFL quarterback and former Texas star Colt McCoy. Case McCoy started one game this season for Texas and five last season. David Ash had been named the Longhorns' starting quarterback for the Alamo Bowl two weeks ago.
Hicks was a starter but he missed most of the season because of a hip injury.
Longhorns coach Mack Brown announced the suspensions on Friday morning during a news conference before Saturday's game in San Antonio. He didn't identify the players or specify the rules that were violated.
A report by KENS-TV on Friday morning indicated that two Texas players were under investigation by San Antonio police for an alleged sexual assault that occurred early Friday morning at a hotel. No charges had been filed.
There is no confirmation that the two Texas players being investigated by police are McCoy and Hicks.
According to KENS-TV, a woman told police that she met two Texas football players and invited them to her room. She later accused them of sexual assault.
"No arrests have been made. As far as the investigation goes, it is still being currently investigated," Matthew Porter of the San Antonio police told ESPN.com. "There is no timetable for the investigation."
