Thats exactly what happened.The Boutte situation made no sense to me. Bill said he had his best week in practice and when Parker was inactive week one Boutte was active. Thronton also popped up on the injury list on Friday which made me think he was likely out again. The only thing I can think is that he made those comments to the media about "his number getting called" this week and Bill got pissy and benched him. Obviously none of us will know for sure but if that is the reason he didn't play Sunday then it is just another instance of Bill not doing what's best for the team.
The kid went public thinking he was going to play.
Bill thought the kid thought he was entitled to play because he practiced.
Thats not how it works here.
FWIW Boutte had a rep at LSU for being a little to much in love with himself...
