Not only did LSU lose out on its chance at a national title, but the team may have lost its star running back, at least for a little while.

A source close to the team told WDSU sports anchor Keli Fulton that starting running back Charles Scott has a broken collarbone.

WDSU NBC (New Orleans): LSU Back Has Broken Collarbone

No real shock here given the way that it looked on the field, but nevertheless you hate to hear this one for Scott. He's had a rough year due to little fault of his own, but he played a fine game yesterday and gave us a lot of problems. You hate to say it, but given the nature of his injury his collegiate career is probably over. At least with his talent he'll play at the next level and get paid lots of money to do so, so best wishes to him.

That sucks for Scott

It wasn’t even a particularly violent landing, especially given how nasty that game was.

yet another reason

why the so-called “blown interception” wouldn’t have mattered. (it took us a while) but we finally figured out that Lee was in at QB, so all LSU could do would be run, and without Scott, they had no chance.
