A few years ago I put together a short video with some highlights of Stovall's career:
Jerry Stovall
Cool video. But, compare his overall stats to Hilliard's.
I know he played both ways and received accolades as much for defense as offense, but he had 5 total touchdowns in his career and barely over 1000 yards total rushing. Hilliard had 50 and 4000.
Seems they should have included both on the number retirement to me.

Hilliard's.
I'm pretty sure the criteria for retiring a number is the player must have graduated.

Stovall's numbers reflect the way the game was still being played at the time. He might have won the Heisman in 1962 if LSU had beaten Ole Miss and if there had not been several other good players from the SEC in contention.

Always tough to compare player from the 60's with a player in the 80's. However, Stovall finished 2nd in Heisman race. Any other LSU player not named Cannon finish that high?
ETA-- and many believed he should have won.
