Les Miles said Josh Boutte called Wisconsin's D'Cota Dixon to apologize for the hit.

Silver lining: It was nice to see that he could hit someone in space. After the screen play, I wasn't sure.

Les Miles should be suspended for horrendous offense.

Needs to be kicked off the team.

If it was NFL he would be fined.

He claims he thought was a live play.

He shoulder hit a guy in pads. Wasn't a spear, didn't punch him. Much worse has happened in football.

He told Les right after the play he didn't know the guy was down. Hard to prove he was lying. Actually made the most sense to me.

Expecting discipline from Les Miles? It's like Les is going out of his way to demonstrate the lengths to which he is willing to go to show he hasn't changed a thing.

Should be more. Probably the worst I've seen under Miles.

In the same way that Night Train Lane hit people in the "pads"?



His motto was "Hang 'em high"



"A mistake" according to Les Miles.

Is that what LSU imposed? Or is that the SEC judgment as well? The SEC was supposedly looking into it, and they might have a different verdict than LSU does.

Josh is a good kid who made a stupid mistake. Two to four games might have been a more apt punishment, but he does not deserve to be kicked off the team.

However, the one game suspension is from LSU. The NCAA and/or the SEC have not weighed in yet.

If only he could have channeled that passion into more productive pursuits earlier in the game.

A one game suspension is not enough.

Sounds fair enough. Let the man learn from his wrong doing and get on with his playing. Anything similar he should be gone from the team.

As expected. Though he certainly lost his starting job and will probably not play for a few more weeks.

Miles' statement says Boutte's hit was "done by mistake" on Dixon. Ridculous. Boutte didn't tackle Dixon, he tried to take his head off.#LSU


Absolutely absurd but nothing surprises me when you have Miles as head coach. No discipline and no respect.
