Gamecocks OT suspended following assault allegation

Already sidelined following shoulder surgery, South Carolina's Quintin Richardson will also have to overcome a school-initiated penalty in order to return to the playing field.
According to The State, university police are investigating a claim that the offensive tackle assaulted his girlfriend in the parking lot of Williams-Brice Stadium last week. Based on what we know, there have yet to be charges filed.
A police report stated that a 20-year-old South Carolina student said Richardson assaulted her at around 8:30 p.m. ET Aug. 10 outside the stadium. Upon learning of the alleged incident, Richardson was indefinitely suspended by head coach Steve Spurrier.
"We don't know them all. I don't know who all was there," Spurrier said Friday. "We'll let the legal system within the university run its course before we make a final decision on him."
Richardson started five games at right tackle as a sophomore in 2009 and played in a total of eight.
