The Miami Hurricanes did not get off to the start they wanted, falling to the Louisville Cardinals 31-13 in their season opener. The Hurricanes bounced back with 41-7 win over the Florida A&M Rattlers. Although the Hurricanes are trying to look at things in a positive light, they received bad news on Friday – defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad has been suspended for the season.

The Associated Press has the scoop.
"Miami defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad will not play football for the Hurricanes this season, after his suspension from the university for a disciplinary matter was revealed Friday.As a private school and citing federal laws about protecting students’ personal information, Miami officials did not disclose any specific reasons for the suspension. However, police records show that Muhammad was alleged to have struck a former Miami student and roommate three times in an altercation after the Hurricanes’ spring game on April 12.The incident was reported to police five days after that game as an aggravated battery and referred to the State Attorney’s Office for further review, though court records do not show any charges ever being filed."
This is obviously a huge blow for a team that has really struggled among the defensive line and finding a replacement for a play like Muhammad will not be easy. The Hurricanes are somewhat used to it now though – they have held him out in each of their first two games.
The Hurricanes will also be without star wide receiver Stacy Coley when they play host to the Arkansas State Red Wolves Saturday at 3:30 pm EST. The game is on ESPNU.
