Zach Mettenberger unapologetically explains why he has a hard time viewing 15th-ranked LSU's regular-season finale against Arkansas as a cause for celebration. ''It's pretty depressing - another chapter in a lot of guys' lives passing by,'' the Tigers' senior quarterback said this week. ''You spend so much time with all these guys that it's going to be tough to not be around them every day.'' For Mettenberger, college football has been a sometimes bumpy five-year journey from Georgia - where he was dismissed - to community college in Kansas, to LSU, where he spent one year at third-string before finally taking his first snaps as a starter in 2012. After leading the Tigers (8-3, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) into Friday's ''battle for the Golden Boot'' against the Razorbacks (3-8, 0-7), and one last bowl game, ''I'll never get to play college ball again,'' Mettenberger lamented.
