He can't click his ruby red slippers together three times and wish himself back at LSU. However, after a trio of disciplinary incidents, he finds himself wearing a ruby red Jacksonville State uniform. Just our luck, his Gamecocks were on Thursday night's undercard against Georgia Tech.
Perilloux started but didn't achieve much against Tech, tossing two interceptions as his team was routed 41-14. For the night he did throw a pair of garbage time touchdowns, but averaged a mere 3.7 yards/attempt in going 22/37 for 136 yards. He also led the Gamecocks in rushing, reaching 67 yards on 18 carries (3.7 average). Ho hum.
On the opposite side of the field, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson late of Navy made his debut, taking his crazy run attack with him to Atlanta. The Yellowjackets were impressive against the lower division defense in totaling 349 rush yards and 7.6 yards/attempt. Not bad, now let's see you try that against a D-I defense fellas.

With all due respect to Jacksonville State players who no doubt practice and play their guts out as much as other more talented teams, what a let down for Perilloux. He had the world in his hands as starting QB for LSU this year. Not only are they defending national champs but all the players and coaches needed and depended on his talents. How could anyone be so absurdly undisiplined, arrogant and flat out stupid as to blow all that at by deciding to ignore team rules three different times? Let us hope that this sad situation opens the eyes and brains of other young people so they do not make the same mistake. Life is choises and you need to take full responsibility for all you do.
