LSU suspends three for Auburn game
Cornerback Tyrann Mathieu and running back Spencer Ware have been suspended for this Saturday's game against Auburn, a school official told ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach.
A source told the Associated Press that defensive back Tharold Simon is also suspended.
The LSU student newspaper, The Daily Reveille, first reported Wednesday that according to a source, Mathieu and Ware both failed drug tests and that the suspensions could turn into multiple-game suspensions.
The loss of these players makes Saturday's game with Auburn a little more interesting. Not having to throw against Mathieu will be a big relief for Auburn's Clint Moseley, who is making his first start in place of Barrett Trotter. Mathieu has been LSU's most productive defensive player this season, collecting 42 tackles, including 1.5 sacks, grabbing two interceptions, forcing four fumbles and recovering three and returning two for scores.
But beyond Mathieu's stats, he is the heart and soul of LSU's defense. He absolutely flies around the field, is a ball hawk at the nickel position and has a tremendous knack for finding the ball no matter where it is on the field.
