In a brief announcement, TCU announced that starting defensive end Devonte Fields (or as he is known to opposing Big 12 quarterbacks, the "Return Of Reggie White") would be suspended for the first two games of the season, against LSU at Texas Stadium on August 31st and the home opener against Southeastern Louisiana State on September 7th, for an undisclosed "violation of University and team policy".
