Blake Mitchell suspended
South Carolina quarterback Blake Mitchell was one of three players suspended for the opening game against Louisiana-Lafayette for missing summer school classes.
Steve Fink, a spokesman for the athletic department, said Thursday that Mitchell, tailback Bobby Wallace and cornerback Chris Hail were suspended for the Gamecocks’ opener Sept. 1 at home.
The three players also were suspended from the team’s first two practices this fall for violating an athletic department policy by missing classes.
The suspension won’t be that costly anyway.
