Pretty sure if is was NOT an ACL tear, Bonnette would have shot it down immediately.


Well, some folks seem to think that LSU hasn't announced it yet to stay in the running for a Cotton Bowl bid, but they don't realize that the Cotton Bowl won't take LSU even with Mett healthy.

Mett is one of my favorite players of all time. Will pray for his recovery and transition to the NFL

I like how ESPN breaks this news while our local media is left scratching their heads and repeating what ESPN has already reported.

You would think the advocate would have a closer source to the LSU program than ESPN

Crap... I guess it is true are at the least close. Sorry about that for Mett!

If there is a silver lining we will get to see AJ before the spring game and he will get some big game time experience this season which should only help him next season.

Hard to beat a national source. The guy who broke it is an NFL insider. He got his info from GMs/player personnel directors who have ties to Cam Cameron.

Hard for a local guy to establish a relationship with an OC who was just hired less than a year ago

If it was a standard leak, NOLA/TP or Advocate would have been the first to report.

They have legit sources.

Just reading this for the first time.....shite sucks man. I've torn my ACL and odds are the doctor told him it was torn on the sideline of the Arky game. They can tell by feel without an MRI. Would explain his emotions after the game....

Hope he gets drafted high and succeeds at the next level.

It does seem weird

But the fact that Bonnette couldn't "confirm or deny it" doesn't seem good

Guess we'll just have to wait til tomorrow

Heard this a couple days ago from someone close to the situation. Really sucks for Mett

Thanks to him for really buying in to the program and having a great season.

Good to see him still being graded out well from a few in the industry

but playing in the bowl game wasnt gonna help lsu


while we have had success with back up qbs in bowl games. not having your best option at qb and losing the game in no way helps LSU.

Guess some of yall are getting what you wanted and that was for us to say the season was a wash and to bench mett for jennings.

Then you should know not all are the same and an mri would be needed to tell how serious it was.

I wonder if it was torn most of the year. He's been limping on that thing bad all season.
