Thing Go Sour For The Honey Badger

One would wonder what rules this fellow had broken.

Keep in mind that that ol' Tyrann was suspended for a game last season due to a failed drug test.

His ouster coming just as the Bayou Bengals had voted the #1 team in the country in a recent pre-season poll.

ROLL TIDE! 'BAMA DEFENSE SUFFOCATES LSU OFFENSE AS CRIMSON TIDE BLANKS TIGERS FOR SECOND BCS TITLE IN THREE YEARS

At New Orleans:


Jeremy Shelley kicked five field goals (23, 34, 41, 35, 44 yards) and Trent Richardson rumbled 34 yards for the game's lone touchdown as the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1), in avenging their only defeat of the regular season,  smothered the top-ranked Louisiana State Tigers (13-1) 15-0 on Monday night to win their second BCS National Championship Game in three years.


The Crimson Tide defense held the Bayou Bengals to a grand total of 92 yards and five first downs in the contest while the Alabama offense gained 384 yards.


Quarterback A. J. McCarron, named the game's Offensive MVP, completed 23 of 34 passes for 234 yards.


Linebacker Courtney Upshaw, with his seven tackle, one sack performance, was named Defensive MVP.


This was the first shutout ever in a BCS bowl and the Crimson Tide became the first team to win a national title without a conference championship since Minnesota in 1936.  The national title is Alabama's ninth since the start of the media/coaches poll era in 1936.

HONEY BADGER IGNITES "BAYOU BENGALS" AS LSU CAPTURES SEC CROWN AND LIKELY BERTH IN BCS TITLE GAME

At Atlanta:


Tyrann Mathieu, named the game's Most Valuable Player, ran back a punt 62 yards for a touchdown, set up another score with a fumble recovery, and came up with another sensational punt return that set up still another TD as the LSU Tigers (13-0; ranked #1 in the Bowl Championship Series rankings) came back from a ten-point deficit and a dreary first quarter to score 42 unanswered points in belting 14th-ranked (BCS) Georgia (10-3) 42-10 in Saturday's Southeastern Conference Championship Game, ending the Bulldogs' 10-game winning streak.  Kenny Hilliard scored three touchdowns (two rushing, one receiving) for the Tigers who will play in next month's BCS National Championship Game at New Orleans.
