Who do you think were the best LSU players by position in your lifetime?

quote:

---

DE- Spears

---

Hill was far better.

quote:

---

TE- Dickson I guess? Not a lot of options here

---

Robert Royal. This is not up for Debate.

I'll narrow by position groups:

OL--Faneca
RB--Fournette
WR--Wendell Davis
QB--Hodson

DL--Dorsey
LB--Michael Brooks
DB--Matthieu

TM7 was the ultimate game changer so he’d be my pick for just a single defensive player but PP7 was a better corner imo

---

I agree. I’ll even take it a step further.

TMs 2011 season was the best single season for any player in LSU history and maybe one of he best single seasons for a defensive player ever in college football.

But....

Since 2000 I can think of 5 guys from LSU who were better cornerbacks.


This isnt a knock on TM, like you said he’s the ultimate game changer. But other guys were better CORNERBACKS

This must be nice. Didn't have to sit through the horror of the 80s and 90s. There were some good moments sprinkled in there.

Eta: As a couple people have pointed out, the 80s were pretty solid with a few bad years. I was remembering wrong.

I know Fournette's the greatest RB but I used to love watching Dalton Hilliard run and make people miss. So much fun to watch, he was so shifty...

I watched Bert Jones split time at QB his first 2 years.
1970
Buddy Lee* QB 85 Cmp, 161 Att, 1344 Yds, 6 TD
Bert Jones QB 57 Cmp, 109 Att, 909 Yds, 5 TD
--------------------------------------------------------
1971
Bert Jones* QB 66 Cmp, 119 Att, 945 Yds, 9 TD
Paul Lyons QB 57 Cmp, 122 Att, 817 Yds, 11 TD
--------------------------------------------------------

FB: Maurice LeBlanc

QB - Russell
RB - fournette
FB - hester
Te - lafleur
WR - Reed, Landry
OL - Whitworth, Faneca, Mawae, Turner, Collins (figured why not make a starting 5)

I'd have to think about defense. So many great players just recently.

Claiborne and Peterson are the best corners. TM7 was more of a hybrid corner/safety/linebacker.

Based on how good they were while at LSU

Well, it’s nearly impossible (at least, for me) to choose only ONE per position.

But if I was assembling a team, these guys would be my starters (I can remember as far back as Paul Dietzel):

OFFENSE

QB -- Rohan Davey

WR -- Josh Reed, Andy Hamilton
RB -- Leonard Fournette
FB -- Earl Gros
OT -- Andrew Whitworth, La’el Collins
OG -- Eric Andolsek, Alan Faneca
C ---- Nacho Albergamo .. (HM: Todd McClure)
TE --- David LaFleur ....... (HM: Brian Kinchen)

DEFENSE

DE --- Marquise Hill, Gabe Northern
DT --- Ron Estay, Leonard Marshall

LB -- Michael Brooks, George Bevan, Devin White .... (HM: Warren Capone)

-- >> Devin White is the best LSU LB in the last thirty years.
-- >> Michael Brooks was the best LSU LB, ever.

S ---- Steve Rehage, Greg Jackson
CB -- Patrick Peterson, Tommy Casanova

P ----- Chad Kessler ........... (HM: Brad Wing )
PK --- David Browndyke .... (HM: Cole Tracy)


I suppose that arguments are to be expected :sigh: . . .

QB Davey
RB Collins
FB Banks
WR Landry
WR Reed
C Wilkerson
G Faneca
G Peterman
T Whitworth
T Collins
