COLUMBIA, Mo. • Sophomore cornerback Aarion Penton is listed as a starter for Missouri's game at Tennessee on Saturday, meaning his indefinite suspension has apparently been lifted. Penton was suspended after his Nov. 7 arrest in Columbia on suspicion of marijuana possession. He didn't practice last week and sat out Saturday's 34-27 win at Texas A&M.

In Penton's place, sophomore John Gibson started for the Tigers (8-2, 5-1 SEC) and rotated with junior David Johnson. They helped hold the Aggies to 237 passing yards and 341 yards overall. Only Alabama has held Texas A&M's offense to fewer yards in SEC play this season.

In nine starts this season, Penton shares the team lead with seven pass breakups and has three interceptions.

Penton, the former All-State player at CBC, was also arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession in March.

"These are young guys," cornerbacks coach Cornell Ford said of the situation last week. "They all make mistakes, just like my kids. I try to treat them just like that. We move on and learn from it. Hopefully, they don't make the same mistakes again. We try to use it as a teaching moment."
