Louisville defensive back Tayon Holloway has been suspended indefinitely following his arrest for first-degree strangulation and fourth-degree domestic violence assault. Holloway was arrested Sunday, hours after Louisville returned home from a road loss to Stanford. "The University of Louisville is aware of the arrest of football student-athlete Tayon Holloway," the school said in a statement. "As we gather more information, Tayon has been suspended indefinitely from all team activities." According to a police report obtained by Louisville television station WDRB, Holloway allegedly attacked a woman in an apartment near the Louisville campus after she tried to get him to stop smoking marijuana. The report said Holloway threw the woman off the bed and struck her in the face with his fists before allegedly putting a pillow over her face when she attempted to fight back. The report also noted all parties inside the apartment were uncooperative. Holloway pleaded not guilty Monday. In the 38-35 loss to Stanford, Holloway was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the final drive of the game, allowing the Cardinal to get in position to kick a winning field goal for the upset victory. Louisville was unable to travel home Saturday after the game because of crew issues with its flight, instead flying back Sunday afternoon.
