Florida coach Urban Meyer has taken action against a star linebacker over a flagrant personal foul and an arguable civil assault.
Meyer has suspended Brandon Spikes for the first half of Saturday's game against Vanderbilt due to attempted eye gouging of Georgia running back Washaun Ealey.
According to the coach, Spikes was retaliating after getting his eye poked earlier in the game.
Spikes returned for his senior season instead of entering the NFL draft.
The Southeastern Conference will look at replays of the incident. NCAA rules allow conferences to suspend players after the fact for flagrant personal fouls.
