Tyrann Mathieu had one of the most thrilling Heisman campaign pushes in the history of college football. If you don't believe me, just take a quick look below.
"The Honey Badger" started the season as the most explosive defensive player in college football. He was then "witheld from play" against Auburn and had a quiet five game stretch. But he then ended the season with a bang.
Mathieu scored two touchdowns on punt returns in as many games. Arkansas and Georgia couldn't stop "The Honey Badger." He nearly scored on a spectacular third, but was shoestringed tackled in the Georgia red zone.
I remember a few weeks ago when I spoke to Mathieu before the Arkansas game. He looked frustrated. Playmakers can get that way when they haven't been making big plays.
I asked him about his struggles versus the Razorbacks the year before. He was burned by Joe Adams on a fourth and three play that sealed the victory for the Hogs. I thought "The Honey Badger" was going to treat me like a cobra.
Instead he gave me a stare I will never forget.

Auburn Wins First BCS Title, But Was Dyer Down?

Auburn finally earned their first crystal ball after an undefeated season.
The Tigers defeated the Oregon Ducks 22-19 in one of the best National Championship games in the sport's history Monday night.
But did the heavily criticized Big Ten officiating crew make a mistake on the game's most controversial play?
Freshman running back Michael Dyer, as I predicted before the game (shameless promotion), played the game of his life. His long runs on the game's final drive proved to be the difference for the Tigers. But was he down on his 37 yard scamper deep into Oregon territory?
MockSession.com investigated the run with this in-depth video....
What do you guys think? Was he down? Was Arkansas tight end D.J. Williams down?
HKT would love to hear your thoughts. Not like there isn't enough drama going on in the SEC or anything.

The Big Ten has been anything but legendary, nor have they displayed much leadership so far in the Bowl Season. The conference went 0-5 on Saturday, and a few of the games weren't even competitive.
Their last hope is "The Ohio State University" in a BCS bowl game versus an athletic SEC opponent. The Buckeyes are 0-9 versus SEC teams in bowl games.
It's been a Bryant family tradition to attend the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans every year. We didn't attend last year's game because we thought the game was going to be ridiculous. And thank goodness we were right.
This game will be different. That's just because a Big East team won't be playing.
This year's game will be well worth the time and travel. With plenty of NFL players on both sides of the ball, this will be a treat to watch.

LSU Football is undefeated. They played two of the best games of the SEC season over in as many weeks and now has received much national attention.
But the national media aren't sold on the Tigers as a real national title contender because of how they have been winning. Yet if LSU remain unblemished, they will remain in the Top 10 of all polls.
LSU welcomes in the 2-3 McNeese State Cowboys to Tiger Stadium. Here are three things to look for...

As many of you already know, I posted this letter before the college football season started. Three days later, Mark Ingram suffered a knee injury that forced him to miss the first two games of the season. Since I've spent most of my life in "The Natural State," some of my friends have asked me to post this column before the Alabama vs Arkansas game this weekend. But still, I don't care about the Hogs and was probably going to repost it anyway. The letter is still in original form with a few extra pictures.

Dear Mr. Ingram,
My name is Carter Bryant, and first let me say you are one of the few truly outstanding individuals in college football.
For the last two years, I have been a credentialed member of the media covering LSU Tigers athletics. My favorite game I have ever covered was LSU vs Alabama in Tuscaloosa last year.
In the postgame presser of that game, you handled questions with grace and humility, proving that you are truly a team first player.
Later on down the road you would be crowned the only Heisman winner in Alabama's illustrious history. You did this while avoiding the “Heisman National Championship Curse” and leading your team to the title for the first time since '92.
But I write this note to say something that you will not like or want to hear.

LSU starts off their home campaign with an impressive 29-7 victory over Mississippi State.
The offense was average and the quarterback play was better from Jordan Jefferson, despite the numbers not saying so.
But the defense dominated. This defense is really really really good. Like really good. And they have the best defensive formation in the country in the 3-2-6 dime package.
Or, what the defense identifies as the "Mustang" package.
The formation has transformed LSU's defense, making it almost a defensive form of the spread. This makes defense exciting, forcing sacks and turnovers left and right on the field.
I mentioned it before the game how much the formation would be run against eh Bulldogs. Defensive Coordinator John Chavis called it up every time, and, if I'm not mistaken, all LSU turnovers came out of that set.
Dan Mullen after the game told me what he thought of all the different looks LSU gave him. He said his team expected it and they just didn't execute.
I also spoke with Morris Claiborne, Patrick Peterson, Stefoin Francois and Kelvin Sheppard after the game. They all pretty much had the same answer about the "Mustang" package.
It can't be stopped.
