BOULDER, Colo. — The long-awaited debut of University of Colorado wide receiver Markques Simas will be delayed two games this season following his suspension for violating unspecified team rules.

Simas, a third-year sophomore, can practice with the team but must sit out its Sept. 6 opener against Colorado State and a Sept. 11 game at Toledo. He will be eligible to play in the Buffaloes' third game, against Wyoming.

Simas, from San Diego, redshirted in 2007 and was ruled academically ineligible before last season.

Sophomore offensive lineman Sione Tau has also been suspended for the fall semester also for violating an unspecified team rule. He has been excused from all team activities.
Tau is a Damien Memorial High School alum from Honolulu.
