LSU's suspended players

[Barrickade72]

Does anyone know if the players that were suspended for the Auburn game will be back for the game against us? I hope they are, so when we beat them they don't have any excuses...

 

[Texastigers]

Yes all players will be back and LSU has no major injuries.
So it will be the full LSU team

We won't be. Our 2nd OLT, who gets a lot of PT is out for the year with ACL surgery, and a LB, Watkins, who also plays lots is also out with a broken arm. In addition our 2nd RB, who also plays a lot and has the best YPC average is very limited with a turf toe...

So we should only beat them two touchdowns instead of four.

This really stinks!! Cyrus has really already burned his redshirt too. Would he qualify for a medical redshirt now? I also expected to see Steen back in the lineup. What is his status? McCollough played well. Alfred earned the highest grade of any lineman. Who starts at right guard against the Who?

For what it is worth LSU's Chancellor stated today that the decision on reinstating the three suspended players for the Alabama game would not be made until they got their acts together.

The status of three suspended LSU football players for the Tigers' showdown Nov. 5 at Alabama will be determined by athletics director Joe Alleva, in consultation with chancellor Michael Martin, after the players "get their act together," Martin said Monday.

His brother Aries has redshirted, but Cyrus is a pure freshman.

 

[CrimsonChuck]

I would guess that it is too late for that, although it doesn't hurt to apply to the NCAA and see.

8 games in -- probably not!

Let's see -- if history holds -- we should be even by the end of the 1st quarter -- how many teams have we played this year that have left the stadium unscathed?

I'm guessing EL will see 5-8 touches, Fowler 5-8, which gives TR some rest! Not ideal, but not horrible.

As quoted on ESPN, LSU rules state, that athletes who fail drug tests "will be suspended for 15% of the remaining games". That would be two games, but don't expect LSU to enforce that rule...at least not for this game.

Exactly - it doesn't specify which 15%? *U and sisters of the poor ... I prefer we play them at full speed anyway.

 

[CrimsonDynasT]

Well at least we have learned that Honey Badger and his two friends are very physical players since they all apparently can "take a hit." LOL:biggrin: RTR!!

The rule actually says "up to 15%".

And they say it is also "subjective" in terms of how it applies to individual players. Here, I'll translate: "if you are not a starter and are insignificant to the team's success you would be suspended for the next two games on the schedule, but if you are a starting RB and a starting CB with a cool nickname we'll pick the games you will miss." See how easy that was?

Yeah when Gary and Verne said that during the game Saturday, I almost died laughing. We all know what that means.

Not true. As previously been pointed out in a different thread, Les Miles has sat players in a big game for rules violations. This isn't Gene Chizik or Florida we are talking about.

 

[bamanut_aj]

I'm certain they'll have learned their lesson by Nov 5th.

 

[Mamacalled]

I will also add that Coach Bryant and Coach Stallings treated each situation subjectively and rightfully so. Coach Bryant even said I don't treat every player the same but I treat every player fair.

 

[CrimsonProf]

The more I think about the injuries to CK, Lacy and even Watkins, the more nervous it makes me.
