Just watching the game, the Honey Badger was owned

I'm not sure I've seen a more hyped player have a worse game since Gino Torretta.
We know about the catches over the top of him. I guess the bad thing about that is that it was leaking out on the internet that Bama was going to attack him because he was weak in coverage. FWIW, I thought he had decent coverage, he just doesn't have 1)size 2)ball skills
I guess the most surprising thing was how he was physcially whipped. And not by guys with superior talent. D. Hanks not only made a great block on the quick screen out to Kenny Bell but he also carried him for about 4 yards on the catch right before the half.
Probably the most embarrasing has to be on the punts though. After LSU's first punt when they had him out as a gunner he was absolutely dominated by a walk-on wide receiver. You can watch it for yourself, but a player of his caliber should never get owned like he did by a 5-7 walk-on.
Props to you Hardie Buck.

Really, just now figured this out huh?

don't tell LSU fans this...Les Miles is the only one to blame for this loss.

I thought it was common knowledge he wasn't a shutdown corner?
However, those Norwood passes were pretty perfect (with great catches) and it's not like he was in horrible position.
He's a playmaker with great ball skills - do people think he's Deion Sanders too

Honey Badger is average in coverage, a beast playmaker, and an amazing returner. The guy he was guarding was a good 7 inches taller he had no shot. He is still a top 10-15 playmaker in College football

This is what I'm trying to figure out. HB made his living from blitzing off the edge and creating havoc. T Richardson picked up the blitz every single time that I saw.

I'll be shocked if the Honey Badger isn't converted into a safety in the NFL. He would be a far more effective player at that position.

Bama had their night LSU had theirs. Congrats. Lets just move along.

If he had "great" ball skills he could've gotten at least one of those out.
I'm mainly referencing his physicalness or lack thereof in this game. I said so in the orginal post. I know when I think physical, I think Deion Sander

Dre Kirk kept him bottled up on punt returns.

Worst BCS loss and now the most undeserving Heisman finalist.

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.
