Former Georgia Bulldogs QB Zach Mettenberger, dismissed from the team after fondling a fellow patron at a Valdosta bar, has committed to play football for the LSU Tigers next year. He should have a chance to start, as the current Tigers QB committee composed of Jordan Jefferson and Jarrett Lee was good for 10 interceptions and only six touchdowns this season.
↵The six-foot-five righty played this season for Kansas' Butler Community College, which he guided to the JUCO national championship game. While not quite a JUCO transfer on the order of Cam Newton, Mettenberger should be able to boost LSU by strengthening one of their most glaring shortcomings.
↵LSU will not play Georgia next year.
↵Mettenberger's exit left the Dawgs short-handed at quarterback, but Aaron Murray stood tall in his first year at starter. Georgia required backup QB Hutson Mason's services in only one non-garbage time moment, when Murray was knocked out of the Auburn game late.
