Well, at least some of the focus of this week's game has been taken off of Nick Saban. Of course, that's not neccessarily a good thing.
Backup quarterback Ryan Perrilloux and linebacker Derrick Odom will not practice with LSU in preparation for the Alabama game after their involvement in a nightclub altercation, head coach Les Miles said Monday.
Miles declined to discuss the matter further, but said he didn't expect the two to play on Saturday.
"We will prepare to play without these guys," Miles said.
Ugh! I don't think we need Perrilloux to beat Alabama (Matt Flynn is perfectly capable of doing that himself), but his presence couldn't have hurt. This distraction definitely can't help.
