Not a good weekend for Iowa, which dropped a 21-20 decision to Pitt on Saturday and then had another player end up in handcuffs.
Sophomore linebacker Dezman Moses was arrested early this morning in Iowa City for public intoxication, The (Cedar Rapids) Gazette reported. Moses, 19, played in the Pitt game hours earlier.
The Hawkeyes have had 19 players arrested since April 2007.
Head coach Kirk Ferentz issued a statement this afternoon:
"I'm extremely disappointed to learn of the incident involving Dezman Moses. Especially considering the circumstances. As stated previously, we will take more stringent action when dealing with unacceptable behavior. With that in mind, he'll serve a minimum four-game suspension, be required to receive counseling and take part in, and perform, community service activities during his suspension. At the end of his suspension period, we'll re-evaluate his status with the team."
