LSU’s Miles says players’ behavior ‘unacceptable’

LSU's coach Les Miles says players have “been involved in behavior that’s unacceptable to me” after starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson and several unidentified teammates were implicated in a fight at a local bar early Friday morning. Miles addressed the media about the incident for the first time Saturday. A group of 22 players who make up the fourth-ranked Tigers’ Unity Council accompanied Miles for a terse 6 1/2 -minute session that included an apology from senior offensive lineman Josh Dworaczyk. “I can tell you that the last couple of days have been miserable for us, that we’ve been involved in behavior that’s unacceptable to me, certainly unacceptable to our team—guys that broke team rules and violated curfew,” Miles said. “I can tell you and assure you that this will not happen again. I can tell you that there’s a remorseful team here. “I personally want to apologize for the actions of my team.” Miles said a “relatively large group” was involved in the incident, mentioning senior lineman T-Bob Hebert and Jefferson by name. Miles said all team members were accounted for at a 10:30 p.m. curfew check Thursday night. No charges have been filed, nor have there been any arrests. The Baton Rouge Police Department’s investigation was ongoing Saturday. Police spokesman Sgt. Don Stone said four people were taken to local hospitals after the fight, none of them football players. Stone also said the four people taken for medical attention indicated they intended to press charges. Athletic director Joe Alleva released statement saying “we will not tolerate student-athletes whose irresponsible actions tarnish the good name of a great university.”
