We came one play from beating Bama and going to the SEC Championship Game vs Georgia (and you saw what TM7 did vs Georgia in the SECCG)
TM7 even publically came out at the Senior Bowl and told the AP that...
He doesn't smile when talking about
eventual national champion Alabama's
winning touchdown against the Tigers in
November, which essentially knocked LSU
out of title contention. It came on a screen
pass to T.J. Yeldon when freshman
cornerback Jalen Mills blitzed.
''I would have given everything'' to be on
the
field, Mathieu said. ''That was a freshman on
that blitz and I would have been a junior so I
would have known that play was coming. I
would have been able to do something.
''It hurts, but it's something that I've got to
live with now.''
We had a whole thread on it here:

And even if TM7 wouldn't have been able to make one big play anywhere in the Bama game to give us the win...
Let's say we wouldn't have won the NC with TM7 last year...just the getting another year to enjoy one of the most exciting Tigers in the history of LSU sports would have been worth much more collectively to the hundreds of thousands that make up Tiger Nation than whatever TM7 loses by not going a few rounds higher in the draft of 2013
