Frisco, TX (Sports Network) - The Southland Conference has imposed a half-game
suspension on Central Arkansas safety Jestin Love for an illegal hit.
Under NCAA rules, Love was suspended for targeting and initiating contact to
the head or neck area of an opposing player during Central Arkansas's win
against Sam Houston State last Saturday in Conway, Ark.
Love will sit out the first half of UCA's game at Stephen F. Austin on
Saturday.
Conferences are required to automatically review video of unnecessary
roughness acts that target the head or neck to determine if additional
sanctions are necessary, regardless of officials calling a penalty at the
time.
Central Arkansas (3-1) is ranked 16th in The Sports Network FCS Top 25.
