Honey badger for heisman.

He can't for this year. He got suspended (synthetic weeds). If he keeps his nose clean next season and plays with the same level, I am pretty sure he will be one of the finalists.

Southern Miss and now maybe LSU? I wonder if there's going to be fireworks going off soon around here.

INT for LSU. Now they have +21 margin of turnover, one of the best in the nation.

Correction, at the end of the SEC season, UG = 7-1 in SEC while SC = 6-2, therefore, UG in and SC not.
That's not a correction, it doesn't contradict anything I wrote. USC was 5-0 in the SEC East, Georgia was 4-1 and only lost to the Gamecocks. The division winner is decided by conference record rather than division record, which is why Georgia made it over South Carolina. That doesn't mean I have to like it.

I don't know any conferences decide the division champ solely on the division record alone, unless it goes down to the tie breaker sitution.

If SC didn't choke vs. Auburn AT HOME, they would be in the SEC Championship game today due to the tie breaker.

Another running TD. The fat lady has begin to sing. LSU to New Orleans for the BCS Championship.

Edit: Another INT for TD (pick 6). Damn it, LSU defense is good.

Damn. Talk about the tale of two halves. Bulldogs dominated the 1st, LSU completely owned the 2nd.

Looks like LSU just challenged Georgia to score as many points as possible in the 1st half, then turned it on in the 2nd half to show everybody how it's done. Damn.

Ok, I'll go ahead and say it. Mattieu can't make it in the NFL. He doesn't have a position and is too small. Too small to be a RB, too small and not fast enough to be corner/LB, not fast enough or versatile enough for return. Essentially he plays no position and is outclassed by others who have mastered their position. He's simply 'OK' at everything and remains too small for the NFL.

<---runs, look into Randall Cobb from UK

Sorry I disagree. Another player that was deemed to be "too small" to play in the NFL was Dat Nguyen, a LB from the "wrecking crew" of Texas A&M. He proved all the critics wrong not by just made the NFL but as a starting LB for several years.

Worse come to worse, TM would be a good pick as punt/kickoff returner. Another former LSU #7 set a record as a punt/kickoff returner rookie at Arizona (P. Peterson - he was a CB).

I am sure there are other players made it before.

He's fast enough to play CB. Maybe big enough to play safety.

That probably dq's him in reality, but if you were looking for the 'most outstanding player' and nothing else... imo it'd be him or RG3. Maybe Luck, but I haven't seen enough of him.

He's 0.5" taller and 10 pounds lighter than Steve Smith (Panthers). Honestly I could see Mathieu playing WR. I'll say this: As a Saints fan, I would gladly take him.
