BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (AP) - Western Kentucky coach Willie Taggart

has suspended running back Antonio Andrews a game for disparaging

comments made Saturday about Hilltopper fans on Twitter.

Andrews questioned WKU fans' loyalty compared to their

University of Kentucky counterparts and, two days after a 36-33

double overtime win over Middle Tennessee State, criticized those

who "said we suck and will never win a game."

Taggart said Monday "our policy is that you don't do anything

that's going to bring a negative perspective on our football

team." The coach says he doesn't "mind our guys using (Twitter),

but use it in a positive way."

Andrews later deleted the tweets and sent an apology to his

nearly 500 followers.

Western Kentucky (1-4, 1-1 Sun Belt) plays at Florida Atlantic

on Saturday.
