This p#sses me off as much as anything about the TM7 dismissal. Those Gumptards actually believe that they had the magic formula on how to stop Mathieu. They truly believe that a couple of very well thrown passes that the receivers made great plays on meant that Tyrann was a liabilty in pass coverage. That's a bunch of BS, and I was so looking forward to this year when they tried to "target" Mathieu and one slightly underthrown pass would turn into an interception.

Not to mention that AJ McCarron panicked everytime TM7 blitzed in the first game and he just ducked right into the interior rush just to not get a sack/strip from Mathieu. He didn't get the stat for the sack, but at least twice (once in overtime) when Mathieu blitzed LSU got a sack because McCarron didn't even look downfield to pass.

I just don't buy that he is a complete "liability" in coverage. Fact of the matter is that is wasn't so much his "bad" coverage in the BCS game, as much as it was McCarron making some great throws. Give McCarron his due. There aren't alot of college DB's who could have done anything with where those throws were placed.

But McCarron still plays for Alabama.
