I mean, it wasn't that bad, he got burned a few times but he had a few solo tackles too.
But how much can you ask from the defense with the offense performing the way they did?

HB7 is having a pretty good career. Only a soph. Has Bama ever had a soph DB that played this well? Just asking.

I lost count of how many tackles he barely missed and norwood just stepped up and used his size in passing

Honey badger don't give a shite what you think. He has a house bigger than your double wide.

Never seen one player hated so much for being great. He gave up some first down catches. By some of these comments you would think he had a Ike Taylor type of game. McCarron made some good throws, so give him credit for coming to play.

No TM7 is a special teams/nickel back in the NFL.

I disagree. I think he's at least an adequate cover corner. He was in position to make plays. He's just too short to contend for a well thrown ball to a tall receiver. Norwood and Hanks are both probably 5-7 inches taller than Mathieu, and McCarron was putting the ball where only they could go up and get it.
He was right on Norwood on a lot of those passes, but had no chance to make a play do to size differences and ball placement. He never got seriously burnt on any play. He was just at a size disadvantage and AJ was having the game of his life.
adequate doesnt cut it in the NFL. They are not going to draft an adequate nickle/dime back who can return punts. Your talking about a corner whose biggest accomplishment is causing fumbles. Not really the stat the NFL is concerned with out of their cover men. In the league every reciever is 6 foot +. If you cant cover a teams #3 reciever in college how are you going to cover an NFL #3 reciever. The Honey Weasel bubble has burst. He was right on Norwood and Hank for several passes but there was one major problem. He never knew the ball was in the air. He never turned his head head. He played the reciever instead of the ball. NFL QB's do not struggle with back shoulder passes on mid range out routes which will eat a cover man who cant turn his head up all day long.

I love that all the Gumps think TM7 won't cut it in the NFL based on the NCG where he got beat a few times...... as a sophomore.

Originally it wasn't a gump that said that.
Secondly, I think many on here have made it known why they don't think he can play at the next level and it has nothing to do with the NC game.
FWIW, I think he's a great player and he'll play in the NFL. He just got flat out embarrased on the biggest stage in college football. Bad enough that he and his fanbase that worshipped him deserve a little ribbing.

Huh? He had some passes caught on him by bigger receivers and was held in check by high punts. That's hardly getting embarrassed. Now if you want to start a thread about our embarrassing arse offense I'd gladly join in on that shite-fest.

Did you read the original post? I pointed out several things that happened.

The kid had a bad game but y'all are just silly with this shite now.
He/Y'all deserve every bit that you get. It hasn't been 48 hours since a walk-on took what he wanted from Mathieu.
Classy. What a gracious winner you are.
I think the game plan was to bottle up Mathieu, which you did. But that doesn't mean that the plays he made all during the season NEVER frickING HAPPENED !!!!!!
AH.

HB7 is a play maker no ifs, ands or buts about it. Is he the best CB? No is he the worst CB? No. What I've seen is that he excells when LSU can gamble with him. In the two games with Bama this year they could not afford to gamble with him as much for fear of giving up a big play.
He probably will be a situational player in the pros, but while he is in college he needs to be on the field.

Bama was going to attack him because he was weak in coverage
I have been saying it all year! he is weak in coverage! He makes plays when he blitzes off the edge and in special teams. Hes a DAMN GOOD PLAYMAKER just highly overrated as a Defensive back! Alabama knew that.

owned? that's cheap. We held your offense in check, but your QB was making unbelievable passes. NO ONE could have defensed most of those passes.
Matheiu's aura/legend is that he's always making the big play- strip, PR, pick etc. Look at his career stats after 2 years. He's not a dominating physical presence.
He did make a couple of solid tackles on TR and Lacy one on one at the line, and he was in good position in tight coverage on a lot of completions. That's what he was asked to do, so he wasn't "owned". He just didn't get a strip-n-score.
It's like saying Trent was owned because he wasn't ripping off yards all night long.
