DALLAS (AP) -- Texas senior defensive lineman Aaron Humphrey, wide receiver Kwame Cavil and two other players were suspended late Thursday by the 14th-ranked Longhorns' coach for team rules violations.
Coach Mack Brown, in a tearful news conference at a Dallas hotel, also suspended backup linebacker Jamal Joyner and another backup, defensive end J.J. Kelly. He would not elaborate on the rules violations.
Brown shortly before midnight had come from a team meeting where the announcement was made. The four players briefly addressed the team there, but the coach would not disclose what they said.
Humphrey is a senior while Cavil and Kelly are both juniors. Joyner is a redshirt freshman.
The Longhorns were favored to beat No. 24 Arkansas on Saturday in the Cotton Bowl.
Texas and the Razorbacks first played in 1894. They were both charter members of the Southwest Conference in 1915.
