Wide receiver B.J. Knauf is suspended the next two games, punishment handed down after he was arrested Sept. 30 on suspicion of theft. The redshirt freshman has not participated in team drills since the arrest. Instead, he has been off to the side doing conditioning or is with the scout team. "He'll have some community service and will lose his tickets for those two games," said Coach Darrell Hazell, expanding on Knauf's punishment. "I know he's remorseful. … He made a bad mistake, and we want to always help our community and that's the most important thing." Knauf and fellow receiver Jordan Woods were arrested on Sept. 30 after they had allegedly stolen two tie bars from Kohl's Department Store, valued at $20 each. They were taken to Tippecanoe County Jail, where they were each released on bond. Woods, who has not played this season, is suspended indefinitely, due to what Hazell said was a "totality of everything that happened." Two days after the arrest, Knauf made a statement to assembled media, speaking without notes for about 35 seconds: "I just want to say how ashamed and sorry I am for the way I represented this community, university, the receiving corps, the team, the seniors, anyone involved in Purdue Tom Campbell University, anyone who supported me in the Redshirt freshman B.J.
