Re: College Football Notebook LSU: Ouarterback Ryan Perrilloux will miss today's spring game, but he
will be back as a member of the team the following day. He will accompany
the team next week to the White House to accept congratulations from
President Bush for the team's national championship.
Coach Les Miles suspended Perrilloux in mid-February after he missed a
team meeting, skipped some classes and was late for a handful of work-
outs. Perrilloux had to meet academic requirements, as well as do extra
conditioning drills. Miles said the quarterback was not allowed to practice
this week and will not play in today's game. In fairness to the other QBs
who have split time with the number 1 offense this spring and have com-
peted hard for the job.
Perrilloux has run up against the law and team discipline with regularity
at LSU. He was on the fringe of a counterfeiting investigation and was
caught trying to board a Baton Rouge casino with a false identification,
which got him suspended all of last summer. He also was involved in a fracas at a nightclub in November, but he was cleared of wrongdoing. |
