Yep, you are correct. I looked it up and NFL TFL does not include sacks, so I assume it would be that for college.

What's Bates bio stats?
Pure class and a complete MONSTER on the field! Made us all proud to be Dawgs!
I don't think he meant any disrespect to Illinois by not saying anything about them, but Bates is clearly ALL IN as a LOUISIANA TECH UNIVERSITY BULLDAWG now.
You gotta love it!
...and we are so happy he's forever a Bulldog. Class act.

CincyIlliniFan on Bates:
Said it was the best decision he's ever made - transferring to LA Tech.
Would have been nice if he had at least said something nice about the Illini, considering the time he spent here. It's not like we had kicked him off the team.
And . . . if there was not substitution penalty against Tech, Bates would have had ONE MORE sack.

Was that Bates too? Shoulda known! I was watching our guy trying to get off the field and didn't see who got the sack...that didn't count. Dayum!
Hate that rule. Stooooooooooooooooopid rule. When a player is a couple of steps from the sideline, obviously leaving the field, and NOT trying to participate in the play, there should be no flag. The offense is not fooled into thinking that player is involved. Has no effect on the play.
On their board they don't seem to know that Bates father died of leukemia and he came back to la to play for his mother. They are irritated he praised Tech after game. Said he wanted to play lightweight programs ( duh? Oklahoma - Auburn and CUSA teams 4-1 in bowls this year). We all have heard his quotes praising Illinois and his former teammates-- oh yeah, did I mention he got a pick against lite weight Oklahoma?
Was this article posted already somewhere? If so, sorry.

You just never know. Assuming they are still an item, Houston's girlfriend is Sydney Hester (yep, Kurt Hester's daughter).

And it seems Syndey is a big ULL fan - don't know if that is where she attended college, but certainly a fan. https://twitter.com/SydneyAngelle
I don't have a problem with that. I think having rivalries is a good thing - but I'm not really into the bashing other schools.
