Carter’s Suspension Cut to One Game | Tennessee Volunteers Football News

Tennessee’s Arion Carter gets a reprieve: his NCAA suspension drops from two to one game, letting him return for the Georgia Tech matchup after sitting out the season opener against Furman. The initial penalty stemmed from his agent paying for a $427 flight to an NFL team—something Carter later reversed by paying it back—but the NCAA stuck with the original punishment. Still, with 76 tackles and All-SEC Second Team honors last year, Carter’s return sooner is a major boost for a Vols defense that’ll need him. Kickoff vs. Furman is set for 3:30 PM ET on SEC Network Plus. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
