Sophomore fullback Dominque Allen has been released from the football program. Media relations director Michael Bonnettee confirmed the big fullback's departure. Tigers coach Les Miles suspended Allen in mid-July for violating team rules. Miles said earlier in fall camp that the 5-foot-11, 275-pound Tennessee native was making progress academically. Apparently the progress wasn't enough, though. Allen appeared in just one game in 2009, but was penciled in as the starting fullback during spring drills. Without Allen, the fullback job remains wide open. Veterans James Stampley, Richard Dugas and Kellen Theriot are in the mix, along with freshman Travis Dickson.
