LSU starting safety AJ Haulcy has been suspended for the first half of tomorrow night’s game against Clemson. The suspension stems from a fight Haulcy got into last year in the regular-season finale when he was at Houston. Video shows Haulcy throwing punches at a BYU player after the Cougars scored a touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Haulcy was ejected, and since his ejection was the result of fighting, he must miss an entire half of football. LSU was made aware on Wednesday that Haulcy was facing a suspension, and the NCAA upheld its ruling last night.
