My thoughts exactly. Nothing can or will be done about White, but this could serve as the impetus to change a bad rule. Anytime a player is suspended for an on the field penalty, there should be an in depth review on Monday to determine whether that player sits the next game.

It should be the right call, not the fast call.


Correct, and if it can happen to one of us, then it could happen to any of us. So this is bigger than White, LSU, or even the SEC itself. We may be stuck with it for this year but it can be corrected by next year. I hate it for White, I really do, but he could have a longer lasting effect on college football than any other player this year.

It was only a matter of time before a big-time player was suspended and/or ejected from a big-time game due to the targeting penalty. I knew the reaction from whoever was affected would be big, just hate that it happened to be LSU. But hopefully this shows the NCAA that they really need to address how this rule is implemented and governed.
