to win either the Florida or Alabama game? I think so. If he played similar to last season I could see a fumble recovery and kick return touchdown vs Florida and a pick of AJ. I think he was worth at least one victory.

Miles did the right thing removing him from the time regardless of his impact.

You are asking if the Defensive Player of the Year and Heisman finalist would have made an impact to win two games we lost?

I am going to go out on a limb here and say "Yes."

I think he would have made a difference. We had to throw a lot of young guys out there in his place, and while they didn't do horrible our secondary as a whole struggled. I know TM7 wasn't the best cover guy, but he was a game changer, and greatly missed.

You would hope he was sitting watching and saying, "damn if I was out there I'd be tearing shite up with my boys." But I think it's more likely he was sitting smoking dope and not really giving a damn. After all, we said the honey badger don't care. We created that monster.

As long as pot is against the rules Miles did the right thing by booting him. Could not afford the distraction or possibly getting other team mates involved.

Difference maker yes, but, moot point IMO.

Well our defensive interior couldn't stop a so-so running back late in our first loss, combined with the fact that we couldn't do shite on offense. So no on that one.

In our second loss, he would have been playing back along with all the other DBs and we still would have given up 10+ ypc on the last drive. AND he would have been the one blitzing from the outside on the final screen pass. So no on that one as well.

Maybe he would've made a difference stopping Bama's two minute offense

In the Florida game I believe he would have made enough to win.

NO. But Maybe. Beckhem did a great job as a punt returner, And TY wasn't that good of a cover corner.

Yes

I was just talking about this yesterday, felt we have very good players but no one on either side of the ball was that "spark", that game changer that would energize the team.
That is what I see with Johnny football, yes he’s a very talented QB but every game he has a play or two that seemed to amp up his team to play at an even higher energy level.
Tm7 did that many times during the season last year and was the main reason the Tigers won some of the games they did.
I am more concerned about the young man getting his life right so he can go onto the NFL and make a living then I am about him not being on the team.

Hell yea, he would have made a difference. I miss him, he was exciting to watch. I hope he gets another chance although I doubt it. There are players that have done a lot of things besides smoking weed that are still playing football. Mett had his problems. He's playing.

Yes. End of discussion. Pointless to discuss though.

When he got dismissed and then we lost Faulk, hope for this season went down the drain. shite happens in football though.

No. We lost to UF because Minter was injured for a few plays and they were suddenly able to run the game. We lost to bama because we allowed 2 TDs when we were in the prevent you from winning defense.

Beckham more than picked up the slack on special teams.

Who cares, he's not "TM7" anymore, he isn't allowed to wear that number, because it represents real players who do the right things on and off the field, like PP7 did. Mathieu is not apart of LSU anymore, we need to move on. We won 10 games and our QB is looking to improve hopefully next year, with an above average offense LSU can do wonders.
