Coker and Bolden suspended ...

Starting defensive tackle Demonte' Bolden and reserve running back LaMarcus Coker have been suspended one game for a violation of team rules, UT coach Phillip Fulmer said Wednesday evening.

Neither will play Saturday when Tennessee hosts Louisiana-Layfayette at 4 p.m., however both practiced Wednesday with the scout team.

Fulmer declined to provide specifics regarding the suspensions.

Coker is UT's leading kick returner and served a month-long suspension and missed UT's season-opener at California for an unspecified violation of team rules.

Bolden has started all eight games at defensive tackle.
