The scuttlebutt on several Internet message boards is that there are three starters for Evansville that have been suspsended for athletic code violations.
I'm not sure if that is a fact, so I'm not going to speculate.
What I do know, in talking another newspaper reporter that covers the team, is that there were two starters that did not play in Saturday's game against Platteville — Tyler Paquin and Mitch Hutchins.
What they were suspended for, I don't know. Hutchins is 6-foot-3, 195 pounds and a dangerous return man while Paquin is 6-0, 195. The reporter said they both played running back, but knowing the lack of depth many Division 4 teams have, I'd imagine they played a little in the defensive backfield as well.
WIAA rules dictate that players suspended for one game of a WIAA tournament series for an athletic code violation are suspended for the entire tournament. I'm not sure if that's the case here.
That's what I know. If I hear more, I'll post it here.

yes, as you have already observed
two Evansville Players did not play last Saturday--we have alot of depth for a D4 school and played very well w/out them. If anything it caused some of our other players to step it up--and you saw the outcome...
MAYVILLE IS GOING TO STATE!!!!!!!!
