LSU sophomores Spencer Ware and Tyrann Mathieu will be suspended for Saturday's game against Auburn after reportedly failing a drug test, a source told The Daily Reveille on Wednesday.

The suspensions could turn into multiple-game suspensions as well.

Michael Bonnette, LSU's Associate Athletics Director and Sports Information Director, did not comment on the matter, but neither confirmed nor denied the reports, saying he will speak with LSU coach Les Miles this afternoon.

Ware is the Tigers' starting running back and has gained 512 yards as part of a dynamic LSU rushing attack.

Mathieu has garnered widespread Heisman hype after forcing six turnovers and scoring two touchdowns on defense and special teams this season.

***Cue the "Mathieu can't win the Heisman for integrity reasons" campaign.

Just another example of the NCAA diverting attention away from the rogue Auburn program.

Hope that "high" was worth the cost. I will never understand how this happens. This could cost both of them HUGE $$$$ in the future.

OK, so now I am less negative than I was before. Still think we are gonna lose, but I feel better about the chances of an upset than I did before. Matthieu was one of the most impressive defenders I have ever seen in person. Dude was fucking FAST - he was everywhere, all the time, all over the place. It seemed like he was in on every damn defensive play against Oregon.

Plus, now there is a morale thing. Imagine if Nick Fairley had been suspended for a big game last year. Your go to guy, the one with all the hype, the guy that makes you feel unbeatable. The impact of Matthieu being gone will be felt - deflating of the tires, so to speak.

Maybe.

Just for a little of that old time MOJO

What really pisses me off is that you know this will turn into a multiple game suspension. Who do they have up next? Yeah...you guessed it. Updyke State University.

PFFFFFT...you really think Les will keep them out of the national championship game? He thinks he's suspending them on what amounts to a bye week. They will have served their time and promised never to do it again by the Updyke game.

If there is a God, this will happen.

I don't think I've been good enough to deserve that miracle.
