Starting QB suspended by college football program after spitting on opponent

Colorado State University's starting quarterback, Darius Curry, and redshirt senior offensive lineman Liam Wortmann have been suspended for unsportsmanlike conduct during their game against Boise State. The incident, which occurred during Colorado State’s 49-21 loss, involved Curry spitting on an opposing player. The suspension was announced by interim head coach Tyson Summers and Director of Athletics John Weber, sidelining both players for the final game of the season against Air Force. The Rams, with a current record of 2-9, are not eligible for postseason play.

Following the suspension, Curry publicly apologized on social media, expressing regret for his actions and acknowledging that his conduct was unacceptable. Curry committed to learning from the incident and upholding the values expected of him as a student-athlete. During the season, Curry completed 65.4% of his passes for 740 yards, with five touchdowns and seven interceptions, achieving a passer rating of 125.9.
