New Mexico suspends QB Sheriron Jones indefinitely

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - New Mexico has suspended senior quarterback Sheriron Jones indefinitely from the team for undisclosed reasons.
The Albuquerque Journal reports Lobos coach Bob Davie announced the suspension Tuesday at his weekly press conference but declined to give details.
The move comes as New Mexico (2-5) seeks to try to snap a four-game skid in their homecoming game against Hawaii (4-3) on Saturday.
Jones, who started seven games last year when New Mexico went 3-9, was beaten out for the starting job in preseason camp by junior college transfer Brandt Hughes.
Jones played in the second half of the season opener after Hughes suffered a season-ending shoulder injury.
Davie says quarterback Tevaka Tuioti will start against Hawaii.
