Fit Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 LSU suspends Perrilloux indefinitely for team rules violation By Chris Low ESPN.com Ryan Perrilloux, the heir apparent at quarterback for defending national champion LSU, has been suspended indefinitely. LSU coach Les Miles made the announcement Monday, saying Perrilloux violated team rules. Miles said Perrilloux's status for spring practice was unclear. The Tigers open spring workouts on Feb. 29. This was supposed to be Perrilloux's shot to take over the quarterback duties full time at LSU. A rising junior, he stepped in for an injured Matt Flynn to lead the Tigers to a 21-14 victory over Tennessee in the SEC championship game last season. Perrilloux also played in the Tigers' 38-24 win over Ohio State in the BCS national championship game. Perrilloux, a highly touted high school prospect from LaPlace, La., has already been suspended two other times during his LSU career. He didn't make the trip to the Alabama game last season after allegations surfaced that he was involved in a fight at a Baton Rouge nightclub. Perrilloux was not charged following the police's investigation. Last May, he was suspended by Miles after being cited for allegedly trying to use his brother's drivers license to get onto a casino gambling boat. Perrilloux was reinstated to the team in time for the start of preseason practice. With Perrilloux's status in limbo, that means junior Andrew Hatch, who began his career at Harvard, and redshirt freshman Jarrett Lee will move to the top of the Tigers' quarterback chart.

columbus_husker Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Perrilloux is an amazing talent. I liked him more than Flynn. If he could just stay out of trouble he could be a star. Quote Link to comment
Touchdown Tommie Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Another waste of talent......why don't these kids get it? Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I heard LSU might just be done with this kid... any reason to believe he would maybe follow Bo here? Ganz would be gone the yeat he becomes eligible, but i don't know if Bo would even want to bring him in. It would be a lot easier for a kid to stay out of trouble here I'd think, and I heard his dad died recently and because of that ever since he has been a mess. Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 don't want him if he keeps pulling stuff like this Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Yeah I don't think Bo would really either with the reestablishing of the program that hes trying to do right now, but it would make a bit of sense if he were to transfer to consider us. I'm sure he has connections to many other colleges, some maybe better than just his former DC moving somewhere to be a HC, but he is a great talent that could fit in here nicely.

NUpolo8 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 Isn't this the same guy who strung Texas along for the entire recruiting period, only to sign with LSU? I bet there's no love lost there. Quote Link to comment
BGREDSTUCKN IA Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yeah, he was originally committed to Texas. How old is Flynn? Quote Link to comment
huskerguy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Yeah, he was originally committed to Texas. How old is Flynn? Flynn was a Senior and is now graduated. Quote Link to comment
