The statement said the duo, who made the trip to California with the team, were suspended due to violation of team rules.
Bowen, a starter, is tied for fourth on the team in tackles with 68 including a pair of sacks.
Blacknall is the team’s sixth-leading receiver with 15 catches for 347 yards and three touchdowns. He was coming off a career-game in the Big Ten Title game victory over Wisconsin where he caught six passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns.
