CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) -- Authorities say two University of Northern Iowa football players have been arrested after a car accident.

Police say 19-year-old Evan Masters Tecklenburg was driving when his vehicle was involved in an accident early Saturday. He was arrested for first-offense operating while intoxicated and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Also in the vehicle was his 19-year-old roommate, Mitchell Ryan Houk. He was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia.

The UNI roster shows that both men are redshirt freshman offensive lineman for the Panthers.

Not a great start to their UNI careers...

paraphernalia is a funny word.

I wonder what they got caught with, since cops can throw all sorts of things into that term.

Yeah...I'm sure they're being set up. They probably weren't even drunk.

I don't think he was claiming they were innocent. It sounded like he wanted to know what they got caught with.

Unfortunately, an incident like this speaks of the entire program. These two players getting caught, indicates a problem with the team. Coach Farley needs to implore standards for all to abide by and be accountable for. Unwarranted second chances are for programs who worry more about win/loss than integrity and character. If these players "pay the price" and re-establish themselves as good citizens then Farley could consider reinstatement. Of course, the above is true only if the charges are found to be accurate.

So these guys should be shown the door?
But two starters don't even miss a game? (The spring game doesn't count)

You tell me? Do we want to be known as the Iowa of FCS? I think a new policy can be implemented at anytime; if from then on, it is administered with consistency.

Re: Redshirt Freshmen Arrested

There was no drug possession, only paraphernalia. In the case of the player that was a passenger I cannot see this being a major offense legally or team status wise.

He showed bad judgement riding with an intoxicated driver, not really a crime. Farley should issue whatever punishment he deems appropriate, but it seems like a running laps type situation.

The driver is in much worse trouble.

I totally agree

Re: Redshirt Freshmen Arrested

Being drunk and being caught with drug paraphenalia isn't as bad as, say, sexual assault. It's still something that should be punished since one of them was behind the wheel, but let the system play itself out. I'm confident that it will be handled well... and I don't get that feeling often.

Re: Redshirt Freshmen Arrested

it is a crime if you let someone drive your car drunk while you are in there.
