An LSU spokesman alleged that the man involved in the scuffle with Faulk punched LSU special assistant Steve Kragthorpe in the chest. Kragthorpe, who was a once the offensive coordinator for the Tigers, has a pacemaker and has Parkinson’s disease.
The spokesman said the team would gather more information before commenting further on the situation.
The man involved in the scuffle with Faulk was seen approaching Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher in the team tunnel after the game to inform him of the altercation. Fisher told reporters after the game that he was not aware of the scuffle and “had no idea” what happened.
An A&M spokesman said the team doesn’t plan to comment until it reviews video of the incident.
Faulk, a former LSU and NFL running back, joined the LSU staff in January.
