MAC suspends Buffalo's West over low hit

Nov 14, 2009 - 12:51 AM BUFFALO, N.Y.(AP) -- Buffalo right tackle Andrew West will serve a one-game suspension for a low hit during Tuesday's game against Ohio.

The Mid-American Conference announced the penalty on Friday. Coach Turner Gill had previously decided to suspend West for one game.

West will not play Wednesday at Miami of Ohio. The offensive lineman will be eligible to return Nov. 27 at Kent State.

West was ejected from the Ohio game for a personal foul after blocking a defensive lineman below the knees following a fourth-quarter interception. The MAC determined West's actions violated the conference bylaws.
