    Two Hawaii starting players have been suspended for Saturday's season-opener at home against Colorado after they were arrested on charges of misdemeanor assault stemming from a weekend brawl at a Waikiki nightclub, University of Hawaii officials announced Monday.

    Outside linebacker Aaron Brown and receiver Darius Bright were arrested in the early hours Sunday following a fight at Zanzabar Nightclub. They were both released after posting bail.

    "Aaron and Darius used extremely poor judgment and in turn embarrassed the football program and the university," Warriors coach Greg McMackin said Monday. "These are two young men who have never been in trouble with the law before, but became involved in a situation where they did not make the right choices."

    The 6-foot-1, 225-pound Brown, a senior from Puyallup, Wash., led the Warriors with five sacks and ranked third with 83 tackles last season. He also had three interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns.

    Bright, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound junior from Fayetteville, N.C., redshirted last year after playing two seasons for City College of San Francisco.

    Witnesses reported that two men struck a 22-year-old man, causing injuries to his face, Honolulu police spokeswoman Michelle Yu said.
