[quote]I don't think Mathieu was a bad as portrayed even in the BCS CG. Bama ran some much taller WR at him and just because a pass was completed does not mean he didn't have decent coverage on the play. It's not like he got burned ala the Denver S v the Ravens. However, I never thought Mathieu was ...
