Wow. Big story that WVU’s stud WR Chris Henry has been suspended for the game for undisclosed violations of team rules.

“I don’t want to go into the specifics about it, but we do have rules regarding effort in the classroom, in the weight room and on the practice field,” Rodriguez said. “And when those rules are violated, obviously the young men have to face some disciplinary action. He will not be playing in the Pitt game and will not make the trip.”

From a strictly personnel decision this helps Pitt. Henry is a talent and with Pitt’s secondary, he was going to be a bear to handle.

Conversely, his suspension is the sort of thing that teams have and do use to rally around and raise their game. I can see the Hoopies getting really up for this game and putting a big team effort — especially with the running game.

This will bear watching and updating.
