LSU QB Ryan Perrilloux suspended

[FloridaGatorforLife]

BATON ROUGE (AP) — LSU quarterback Ryan Perrilloux has been suspended indefinitely for violating team rules, coach Les Miles said Monday in a news release.

Miles said Perrilloux's status for spring practice, which starts Feb. 29, is uncertain.

The release did not detail the rule or rules broken and it was unclear how the suspension would affect Perrilloux's future with the team. He has been widely considered the favorite to succeed Matt Flynn as first-string quarterback after leading LSU to two victories as a starter — including the Southeastern Conference championship game — when Flynn was injured in the 2007 season.

Perrilloux was considered the top high school quarterback prospect in the country when then-LSU coach Nick Saban persuaded him to join the Tigers.

And he appeared to be fulfilling his promise in 2007, after redshirting in 2005 and playing sparingly as a third-stringer in 2006.

But this is not the first time he has faced discipline.

In May of 2007 he was suspended from the team indefinitely after he was cited for trying to illegally get on a riverboat casino in Baton Rouge by using his older brother's driver's license. He was reinstated in August.

In October, the week before the Alabama game, he was barred from practice for his role in a nightclub brawl.

Earlier in 2007, Perrilloux was named as a "person of interest" in a federal counterfeiting investigation, but that probe never led to charges.

This guy just seems to have issues.

Perilloux's compiling quite the rap sheet, that's for sure. He can play a decent game, but his run-ins with the law don't do anything for his image.

If he's thinking about the NFL after his days at LSU are over, he may be in for a bumpy ride. The new commissioner (Roger Goodell) has zero-tolerance for player misconduct, and Perilloux's off-field episodes may raise some red flags with many NFL teams.

this kid could have been a great player but he is always in trouble... to bad for him, but good for the gators

If only he did something stupid before the LSU game last season.

He should be suspended for a game or two, but it won't matter... he'll be back for the games that actually count.

Who's behind him in the depth chart? I heard they have a Ivy League transfer. Anybody like to see him get jacked up in the SEC?

I heard he left the LSU football team! Maybe they'll suck up the game in the SWAMP and we can run away with a big, home team victory! I wouldn't mind seeing them lose every game; especially because they open up the season with appalachian st! We can't forget what App St did to our "friends" up in Michigan at the start of the 07 season!
