The Mountain West suspended UNR senior defensive tackle Rykeem Yates for Saturday's 4 p.m. football game against UNLV in Reno.
Yates is being disciplined for targeting a Buffalo player in the Wolf Pack's 24-21 victory on Saturday. Targeting draws a half-game suspension, but this was Yates' second offense, so it became a full game.
He was the same player who injured UNLV offensive lineman Brett Boyko last season, affecting Boyko's NFL Draft status.
