BYU will be without its top receiver in Friday night's home game against Middle Tennessee State.
The school announced Friday that senior wide receiver Cody Hoffman has been suspended one game for violating team rules, and he will serve the suspension Friday.
Hoffman is only nine receptions, 367 receiving yards and three touchdowns from becoming the Cougars' all-time leader in each of the categories. He leads BYU with 171 receiving yards this season despite missing the season opener with a hamstring strain and was ranked as the No. 3 senior wide receiver in college football by NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt heading into the season.
BYU should have enough offensive firepower to get by without Hoffman vs. Middle Tennessee State's porous defense, but his return will certainly be welcomed when the Cougars visit Utah State, which has held its opponents to an average of 14.3 points in its last three games, next week.
