And he did it at a time when no one wanted to come to LSU, and at a time when we were the most desparate we have been in our history. Probably as much as Gerry DiNardo (if not more), Faulk is responsible for the "Bring Back the Magic" campaign in 1995 that quite probably literally saved LSU football. 3 more losing seasons (after the 6 straight we had just suffered) could have killed our attendance, spirit and enthusiasm the same way teams like Ole Miss and Tulane have been.
He never won a Heisman, or a National Championship, or even an SEC Championship, but I do not believe any player not named Billy Cannon was ever as important to LSU football as Kevin Faulk was (maybe not even Billy).
VERY well said.
