Buffalo, NY (Sports Network) - University of Buffalo senior offensive lineman Andrew West was given a one-game suspension by the Mid-American Conference Friday for unsportsmanlike conduct.

The incident took place in the fourth quarter of Tuesday's 27-24 loss to Ohio when West was ejected due to a flagrant personal foul. On the play, Buffalo quarterback Zach Maynard's pass was intercepted by Ohio's Thad Turner and during the return West was flagged for the personal foul against an Ohio defensive lineman.

"The behavior of Andrew West during the Buffalo - Ohio contest is unacceptable and will not be tolerated," said Dr. Jon Steinbrecher, commissioner of the MAC. "I want to thank Buffalo head coach Turner Gill and director of athletics Warde Manuel for the proactive manner in which they have addressed this matter."

West will be able to return to regular season action on Friday, November 27 at Kent State.
