ATLANTA (AP) — Georgia Tech will be without three more players for the first half of Monday night’s Independence Bowl against Air Force because they missed a team curfew.

Coach Paul Johnson announced Sunday that starting defensive end Anthony Egbuniwe and reserve defensive backs Louis Young and Michael Peterson won’t be allowed to play until the second half.

The Yellow Jackets will be missing four other players for the entire game, including receiver Stephen Hill and safety Mario Edwards. They were declared ineligible for the bowl because of academic problems.
