Les Miles Will Review OL Josh Boutte's Hard Late Hit

quote:

"I grabbed him right away," Miles said. "I'm going to have to see the film, but he's an offensive lineman in protection and what happens downfield sometimes is you're protecting beyond the play. ... Again, I'll have to check this, but it's very logical that he did not even know [Dixon] had gone down and was just running [with the ball]."

NCAA rules stipulate that conference offices must review all "flagrant personal foul ejections," so the SEC will look at the Boutte hit and determine whether any additional discipline is needed.

Boutte was not made available to reporters after the game.

"He's not a malicious guy," Miles said. "I just can't imagine that he saw him go down and then made it back."
