Something Interesting from the Boise Stat

[RobdF]

During the game, there was an unsportsmanlike conduct penaly called on number 80 of Boise State (the tight end, I believe).  

Immediately, Dan Hawkins (their head coach) substituted for number 80.  Hawkins then called him over and made it clear, in a very professional manner, that type of play wasn't acceptable.  A couple of plays later, he sent number 80 back in with a lesson learned.

What do you folks think about that?  I could have easily missed it but have you seen us do that?

I've said it before -- the best way to instill discipline is to take away the one thing offending players want - playing time.  If a player makes a bonehead play (which didn't really happen during the UofL game), then sit that player down - for a play, a series, a quarter, or the rest of the game.  Then he will think twice about doing something stupid the next time.

Have you ever seen CJL NOT talk to a player who makes a penalty?
