PROVO, Utah (AP) -- Brigham Young coach Bronco Mendenhall suspended defensive back Cole Miyahira one game Tuesday for violating team rules.
Mendenhall issued a statement saying Miyahira, who was contending for a starting spot, would sit out the season opener Sept. 2 against Arizona.
"We have addressed and resolved this matter internally," Mendenhall said. "It's now behind us and we look forward to having Cole rejoin the team after the Arizona game."
Miyahira and secondary coach Jaime Hill clashed during practice Tuesday and Miyahira ended up leaving more than an hour early, The Salt Lake Tribune reported on its Web site.
Mendenhall said after practice he wasn't aware of the spat and wouldn't comment. Hill also declined comment.
