Forget the CC off the field issues. Base it strictly on physicality. You can pick one of them for your team. Who do you take?

For the 2-3 games he played, Cecil was the best RB I have ever seen play for LSU. I go back to the days of Joe Labruzzo to Brad Davis, Robiskie, Alexander, Hilliard, Harvey Williams, Faulk, Mealey, DD, Toefield, etc, and none of those guys, great as they were, could match Cecil.
If Cecil had stayed out of trouble, we would be talking about him and Hershell Walker, Bo Jackson, and Marcus Dupree as all of them were similar to Cecil interms of style, talent. What a shame.

Cecil could have been one of the best best ever at LSU.

Cecil Collins was just tougher to tackle than any other LSU RB I have seen.

My wathching/following goes back to C. Alexander, I did not see Cannon, Taylor, Stovall, Robiskie et al live.

Collins hands down. Besides being a freak off the field, he was the most dominate RB at LSU, I have ever seen.

Cecil Collins would have gotten that yard v. UK.

From what little we got to see of both, IMO CC's straight line speed may be similiar to Scott, but he had a superior burst, had more wiggle in his hips, and was tougher to bring down

I'll take Cecil Collins who was bar-none the best runningback I ever saw in high school. Plus the guy averaged over 8 yards per carry in limited time at LSU.

Cecil had a great short stint w/ LSU, but it seems like every year his legend grows a little more.

I'm not reading all the pages, but is this a serious question? Talent alone, Cecil may have been one of the best ever.

Cecil was special. Scott can be special. Cecil had outstanding vision and acceleration. Scott has good vision.

Too early to tell.
