Philip Thompson: Butch Davis this week suspended troubled player Donte Moss for the Tarheels bowl game later this month in Charlotte. In making a statement on the suspension, Davis could not help throwing a verbal dagger at NC State. After the game, Moss slapped a Wolfpack player in the back of the head who Davis claimed was ‘kind of taunting him and in his face.’
I honestly question if this is the real reason for the suspension. If it was, then why did it take almost three weeks for the penalty to occur? Remember, this is the same kid who coaches had issues with at the Shrine Bowl last season and also the same kid who punched out a teammate in a dorm room earlier this year. Butch calls the latest suspension a teaching moment. Well, what the hell did he do after the assault this summer?
And furthermore, why drag NC State into this? Video footage shows Moss going out of his way (towards the wrong locker room), the slapping Sterling Lucas in the back of the head and start walking away fast.
Butch, take care of your own kids, leave NC State out of this, and try to figure out how to actually beat the Wolfpack next season.
