Les Miles has suspended LSU offensive lineman Josh Boutte for his late, clothesline-style hit on Wisconsin defensive back D’Cota Dixon in the Tigers’ loss on Saturday, though Miles maintains that the hit was “done by mistake.”
Boutte was ejected for the hit.
“Josh made a mistake and will serve a one game suspension because of it,” Miles said in a statement. “Even though this was done by mistake, a play like this does not belong in the game of football and therefore action must be taken.
“This play does not define Josh as a person and is not indicative of the type of player he is. We sincerely apologize for his mistake.”
Boutte will not play in LSU’s home opener against Jacksonville State on Saturday.
