For this question I'm only going to use Hill and Mathieu.

If Jeremy Hill and Tyrann Mathieu had not left early/got in trouble.. If they had stayed at LSU for all 4 years. Where do you think they would have ranked all time as Tigers?

Hill- would be in the top tier of Tiger running backs overall, alongside Hilliard, Faulk, Cannon, and Alexander. Great company to be in. I'd already put him there, to be honest.

Mathieu- it's a real shame there will be the asterisk/stigma attached to his name. As a player ONLY, he has to go down as an all-time great here. A basketball analogy (college only) would be Mathieu= Chris Jackson; incredibly explosive playmaker who is on another level than anyone else on the field, each game. Seriously- you'd be surprised if he DIDN'T have at least one turnover or TD, in every single game.

Mathieu should have won the Heisman, it is as simple as that. To do what he did at the position he played, then to just play safety for a game because Reid got hurt and basically single-handedly win that game too. Guy was unreal. The quarterback-fricking media loved Luck and RG3and13, but no one put up the numbers Mathieu did per chance. Ball and TR3YPC certainly should not have been ahead of him.
