Nutt announced sophomore Barry Brunetti will start the season-opener against BYU on Sept. 3 following junior Randall Mackey's arrest for disorderly conduct after a fight at a downtown Oxford bar early Tuesday morning.

Nutt said Mackey would be suspended for the BYU game. Mackey wasn't at Tuesday's practice because of what Nutt called a class conflict.
