Louisiana Tech’s Brevin Randle stomps head of UTEP’s Steven Hubbard

This could be cause for suspension … a long one.

In Friday’s game between Louisiana Tech and UTEP — won by the Bulldogs, 24-10 — Tech linebacker Brevin Randle stomped on the head of UTEP offensive lineman after a play.

Update: Randle has been suspended indefinitely.

Per ElPasotimes.com:

It happened on a pileup as players were chasing a fumble from Miner quarterback Jake McNamara. Randle got up off the ground before Hubbard, partly because he pushed him down by his head as leverage, then kicked him in the head/neck area. Hubbard visibly writhed in pain after the play.

It was caught on camera, but an official on the spot was looking at the pile where the ball was and didn’t see the stomp. UTEP coach Dana Dimel may have, but his screams for justice went unanswered and Louisiana Tech came away with the ball. He also might have been asking for a targeting call, which likewise wasn’t called.

“The referee, who I really admire, came over at halftime and very gentlemanly said that he missed it,” Dimel said. “That’s part of the game. He (the official) was a class act, I really appreciated that.”

Packers star Aaron Jones, who played college ball at UTEP, was not happy.

Brings back bad memories of Albert Haynesworth and Andre Gurode.
