They'll be in the dome next week to take on the Saints. It will be the only regular season game of the year that I don't go for 'LSU West'.
The kid is something else. I hope Drew doesn't struggle two games in a row. I think we will straighten things out. Won't be easy with those guys on the field.
I watched a lot of that game on NFL Red Zone and noticed Mathieu often, including a play that he blitzed and swatted down a pass. The play to end the game looked like one that a seasoned veteran would make.
Gonna be the first time in my life I'm not pulling for the Saints. Geaux Arizona Fighting Tiger Cardinals!!!
Looking at the NFL stats, Reid has two Ints. leading the NFL along with a few other players. LaRon Landry is leading in tackles with 26, Ryan Clark is 5th with 20 tackles. Perry Riley is right behind with 19 tackles. Many former LSU players showing up in the NFL stats 1st pages.
Laron is a tackling machine, he led the Tigers in tackles a few times too I believe. Speaking of Ryan Clark, I watched a film on the recent Steelers and Packers Super Bowl, (great show by the way) and Clark was talking about some of the plays during that game and how close he was to knocking that first Jennings TD down and how he had it read, but the throw by Rodgers was perfect. Then Ike Taylor started talking and I instantly knew he was from Louisiana, never realized he and Peanut Tillman played right and left corner together at USL. Ike Taylor could be the best corner in the NFL today, it makes you realize when you start looking at NFL rosters how many studs come from Louisiana.
