Ole Miss Gets Cold-Cocked By Jacksonville State

Back in 1992 Jack Crowe was the head coach of the Arkansas Razorbacks and lost their season opener to The Citadel from then Division 1-AA in their season opener. The next day Crowe was out of a job.

18 years later Crowe is the head coach of Jacksonville State on the Football Championship Subdivision and Saturday his Gamecocks upset Ole Miss out of the SEC 49-48 in double overtime.

"If you stay in this long enough, it goes both ways," Jacksonville head coach Jack Crowe said.

"Without a doubt, it's the worst loss of my career," Ole Miss head coach Houston Nutt said.

Here's the wild finish to this one. (Thanks ESPN/CSS/Youtube.com)

Perrillioux Not Minding Again. Suspended For Jacksonville State Season Opener At Georgia Tech

Ryan Perrilloux, the same quarterback that was booted from LSU, has been a bad boy again.




Friday Jacksonville head coach Jack Crowe announced that Perrilloux has been suspended for the Gamecocks season opener at Georgia Tech on September 5th for a violation of team rules, which could me anything.



“Due to an incident that occurred during the spring, Ryan has been suspended for the first game against Georgia Tech,” Crowe said in a statement by Jacksonville State sports information. “This is not the result of any legal circumstances and is strictly a violation of the strict guidelines he came here under."



Perrilloux transferred to Jacksonville State last season after being kicked off the LSU team for skipping classes, arriving late for conditioning, failing to show up at team meetings and other high crimes and misdemeanors.



Crowe did say that Perrilloux will be back to start against Florida State, JSU' s second game of the year.

He passed for 2,318 yards and 19 touchdowns last season. Crowe said Perrilloux would return to the starting job against Florida State in the second game.

CBS CS/CSTV did a story on The Perrilloux on his transfer to JSU
So much for this idea...

And so much for all the "trust and discpline" Crowe instilled in his QB...

Sophomore Marques Ivory is expected to start against the Yellow Jackets.

Those of us at OSG HQ covered Ivory when he was a high school star at Northside-Warner Robins. Give him time and targets, and he could be a quality QB.

Ex-LSU QB Ryan Perrilloux Moves On To Jacksonville State

Ryan Perrilloux thought he was above the law and bigger than LSU. That was no to both. Perrilloux was caught using a fake ID at a Louisiana Casino, didn’t go to class and skipped workouts. Finally, LSU Head Coach Les Miles had had enough and kicked Perrilloux off the Tiger team. One of the most heralded players coming out of high school was an athlete without a school.

So the 2007 SEC Championship Game MVP will now display his talents at Jacksonville State in Alabama, a Football Championship Subdivision school. On paper, Perrilloux should dominate at that level of college football though he will face one of the top defenses in major college football when Perrilloux and the JSU Gamecocks play Georgia Tech in Atlanta to open the 2008 season. Wasn’t Atlanta the city Perrilloux won the SEC Title Game MVP? Interesting.

You can read more on Perrilloux from this A.P. story from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette.
