Punishment for college football player who stepped on opponent's head

"Coach Cumbie and I met with Brevin Randle today and informed him that he has been suspended indefinitely as a result of the incident during last night's game versus UTEP," Tech athletic director Eric Wood said in a statement.

"In speaking with Brevin, he acknowledges that his action was wrong and understands the consequence of that action. Our university, athletic department, and football program believe in culture, class, and competitive excellence and in no way was that displayed in that moment."

Moments after the play was ruled over, Randle pushed Hubbard into the turf while he was on the ground and after getting up from the pile, stepped on the player's head and neck area with his right foot.

Officials were more concerned with which team held possession of the football and weren't looking in the direction of the incident at the time it happened.

Louisiana Tech defeated UTEP, 24-10, and moved to 3-3 on the season.
