Louisiana Tech SUSPENDS linebacker Brevin Randle after he was caught stomping on UTEP player's head

Louisiana Tech suspended linebacker Brevin Randle indefinitely Saturday, a day after he was caught on camera stomping on the head of a UTEP player who was lying face down after a play.

Randle was not flagged by officials in the second quarter of the Bulldogs' 24-10 victory in El Paso, Texas, on Friday night, but video of the play went viral on social media.

UTEP offensive lineman Steven Hubbard was down on the field after a play, and seemingly hurt, when Randle got up by pushing down on Hubbard and then kicking his foot back into the side of the opponent's helmet.

La. Tech athletic director Eric Wood released a statement saying he and coach Sonny Cumbie had met with Randle on Saturday.

'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.'

UTEP coach Dana Dimel had revealed that the officials admitted they missed the incident on the night.

'The referee, who I really admire, came over at halftime and very gentlemanly said that he missed it,' Dimel said, via the El Paso Times.

'That's part of the game. (The official) was a class act, I really appreciated that.'

It is unclear whether Randle will be hit with an official NCAA ban to go with his Louisiana suspension. 

Randle is a senior transfer from Stephen F. Austin who is second on the team in tackles with 46.

Louisiana went on to win the game 24-10 following a 67-yard punt return from Smoke Harris.

Tyre Shelton opened the game with a one-yard rushing touchdown which was set up by an 85-yard catch and run by Cyrus Allen. He finished with 104 rushing yards on 16 carries.
