It's J.D Harmon but it's for the first half only.

Kentucky coach Mark Stoops announced on the Southeastern Conference coaches teleconference Wednesday that cornerback J.D. Harmon would not play in the first half at LSU Saturday night for a flagrant hit against Louisiana-Monroe in last week’s game that was not penalized.

Stoops noted Monday that a player would be suspended but seemed then to indicate it might be for excessive celebration. However, Stoops said Wednesday he had conferred with SEC officials about Harmon’s apparent helmet-to-helmet hit.

“It was really about a (hit that was) close to being an illegal hit or being an illegal hit that wasn’t called. So after consulting with the league about the situation, we just felt like it was the right thing for me to do to suspend him for a half a game,” Stoops said.

Harmon has 22 tackles, eighth best on the team, and has two tackles for loss, three quarterback hurries and two forced fumbles. He’s a special teams standout and has two kickoff returns for 53 yards also.

I couldn't believe the refs didn't throw him out of the game for that hit. It was certainly illegal and totally uncalled for.

I agree paulcat he should have to sit the whole game that was vicious, and could have caused major trama.
