congrats to Kevin Faulk, this award is truly deserved. he was key in turning around an LSU program that had 6 straight losing seasons prior. he outran people, ran over people, made great cuts, caught passes, returned kicks... a great LSU Tiger all around.
Nailed it.
The debt of gratitude Tiger fans owe Kevin Faulk can hardly be overstated. Coming out of HS he could have gone anywhere. He chose us (as Lou noted following 6 straight losing seasons). Likewise, he elected to stay his Sr season. I can't quote it but during his speech he said something along the lines of 'LSU made a commitment to me. I need to honor my commitment to them.' Had Faulk not chosen to come here, Saban wouldn't have wanted to come here.
IMO, the most complete player we've ever had, ever.

This and he actually got his degree in 3 years, if I remember correctly. He was a great Tiger.
Kevin was a QB at Carencro High and lead them to a state championship when no teams from the Acadiana area had ever won a state championship in the highest division (don't remember if it was 5A then or still 4A that was the top). Ironically, they won the Championship game on Wade Ritchey's leg.
I do think Collins was a better pure runner, but Faulk's all around skills are unmatched, closest other guy would be Dalton Hilliard.
