LSU CRISIS! Stevan Ridley Might Be Out For Cotton Bowl

TIME OF OFFER UP PRAYERS :( . This could be a big game changer.


BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU head coach Les Miles says running back Stevan Ridley is dealing with a one-time academic violation that may make him ineligible for the AT&T Cotton Bowl.

Miles declined to go into detail about the violation, but says LSU is appealing to the NCAA to have Ridley ruled eligible to suit up for the Jan. 7 bowl game. LSU (10-2) plays Texas A&M (9-3) in Cowboys Stadium.

Ridley has been LSU's leading rusher this season, gaining 1,044 yards on 225 carries and scoring 14 touchdowns.

Ridley is a smart kid and one would have to think this is not a "bad grade". Which actually means it could be something worse. Hoping it is not.
