Wisconsin’s D’Cota Dixon Didn’t Want LSU’s Josh Boutte Suspended

Wisconsin defensive back D’Cota Dixon, who was on the receiving end of a late hit from Josh Boutte, said he wishes the LSU's offensive lineman wasn't suspended and bashed in the media for his actions in the game.

Boutte was ejected following the late hit and will serve a one-game suspension, forcing the senior guard to sit out against Jacksonville State this weekend. Per TheZone.com:

I wish he wasn’t suspended, in all honesty,” Dixon told The Zone. “And I wish people wouldn’t bash him so much in the media. People have no idea what it’s like to be in a situation like that — a game-time situation.

“People handle their frustrations differently. Obviously, I wouldn’t handle mine like that, but it’s OK. You live to fight another day. I was OK. He’s OK.”

Dixon said that Boutte seemed real concerned about the situation when he called him this week to apologize and see if he was ok.

“It’s OK. We actually ended up praying together. I got his number. He got my number. We actually kind of built a little friendship. It was very cool.”

Glad this had a good ending. Now time to move on.
