Matt Mauck is an all-time LSU football success story. He was a BASEBALL player who wasn't even initially given a scholarship to play football, but he earned it--and how!

Not true.
Mauck was offered a scholarship by Nick Saban at Michigan State. When he chose baseball instead Saban told him that if it did not work out he would still had a place for him.
When Mauck left baseball he contacted Saban who was by then at LSU. Saban kept his word and offered Mauck a scholarship. The rest is history.
