**WKU Football QB Suspended for Violating Team Rules**

Bowling Green, KY – Western Kentucky University (WKU) football has announced that starting quarterback, James Mitchell, has been suspended for an undisclosed violation of team rules. The decision, confirmed by head coach Mike Sanford during a press conference Monday, comes just days before the Hilltoppers’ crucial conference matchup against rival Marshall.

Sanford stated that maintaining discipline and accountability is vital to the team’s success and emphasized the importance of adhering to established standards. “We have a culture of responsibility here at WKU, and we take violations seriously,” Sanford said. “While we will support James through this process, we must also uphold our team’s values.”

Mitchell, a junior, has been a key player for the Hilltoppers, leading the team to a 3-1 record so far this season. His performance has been instrumental in their offensive strategy, throwing for over 1,000 yards and contributing multiple touchdowns.

The suspension raises questions about WKU’s offensive strategy moving forward. Backup quarterback Ethan Rivers is expected to step into the starting role, and he will be tasked with leading the team against a formidable Marshall defense.

Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how the Hilltoppers adapt without their starting QB. The game is set for Saturday at 3 PM at Houchens-Smith Stadium, and WKU will look to secure a win while navigating this unexpected challenge.
