After pulling off a monumental upset win over Michigan, Toledo will now be facing a new challenge when the team plays Northern Illinois this weekend with two starters in trouble.

Senior wide receiver Nick Moore and junior defensive end Albertson Alexandre were arrested early Sunday morning outside Rhino's Bar on Bancroft Street near the campus following the 3-point win over the Wolverines. The two were said to be involved in a fight that involved approximately 40 people.

Both players were charged with misdemeanors: disorderly conduct and intoxication for Moore and obstructing official business for Alexandre.

According to reports, Moore and Jason Link of Columbus, who were both intoxicated at the time of the incident, got involved in a fistfight at 2:30 a.m. Sunday in the establishment's parking lot. Officers, who arrived on the scene to disperse a crowd of 30-40 people, were approached by Alexandre. Alexandre did eventually get the attention of an officer after tapping his firearm but was also taken into custody.

Moore, 22, could face a maximum of a $100 fine if convicted while Alexandre, 22, could face a maximum of 90 days in jail and up to a $750 fine.

According to UT coach Tom Amstutz, both players have been held out of the starting line-up for Saturday.

"Both players will be held out of the starting lineup this Saturday against Northern Illinois," Amstutz said in the statement. "In addition, they both will face internal team discipline."

Moore, one of the team's captain, was tabbed as MAC's co-Offensive Player of the Week after tallying a school-record 20 catches for 162 receiving yards. Alexandre, who like Moore started against UM, had five tackles, including a two-yard tackle for loss.
