All I could find was a site that said he only made the All-Academic team. Do you have a link that shows otherwise? ETA: I should have dug deeper. I found a list for 1976 showing him as first team All-SEC for AP and UPI.

Wiki page?

No, it wasn’t a Wiki page, but it wasn’t exactly an authoritative site either, just someone who purported to have done extensive research on Duhe. I just searched the wrong direction looking for Duhe instead of All-SEC lists.

That 82 AFC title game was one of the highlights of my life.



This is basically what he is remembered for .. he had a decent career, but when he dies, that three interception game is what the headline will be.. for me personally that game was extremely memorable b/c i grew up in the River Parishes with a bunch of Duhes, and everyone was so proud of him b/c he was from Reserve, so ‘one of us.’

I meant I searched his Wiki page, saw the mention of All SEC, and confirmed what I thought I remembered.

met him at a party in Plantation, FL years ago. He totally blew me off as he was there brown nosing people with money looking for a job


Some former players are like that. An ex NFL guy lives in my parents' subdivision. Career backup/special teams guy whose claim to fame is a botched snap on an extra point that knocked his team out of the playoffs one year. But he absolutely thinks he's better than everybody else. He ignores you unless you can do something for him. I don't even acknowledge him when I see him any more

Man, the mention of his name brings back some damn good memories. One of my earliest memories of lsu football was at the deer camp sitting around the fire listening to the lsu game on an AM radio. Sadly, most of those family members have passed away now….but I have still got those memories.

Always be sure to leave behind good memories for those that come after you….

Probably somewhat because LSU wasn’t very good his last 3 seasons, but his only honors were Academic All-SEC.

Former LSU Coach Bill Arnsparger's defenses were an important part of the Dolphins' success, and earned two nicknames over his tenure – the "No-Name-Defense" in the 1970s and the "Killer B's.”

Bill moved AJ all over the field. Amazing what was done with that defense.

Bill was the head coach at LSU after Stovall.

I’ll always remember that about him. I was the same age and at the time I could only imagine how dead I would be after one play if I was on the defensive line.

I remember watching him play in Tiger Stadium. He was called "Adam" back then. Not that big for a DT, but he had amazing speed and quickness.

I saw them play #1 Nebraska in Tiger Stadium in the 1976 season opener. The Huskers had this vaunted offense with huge All-American linemen. Duhe lived in their backfield the entire night, and the Tigers held Nebraska without a TD en route to a 6-6 tie which felt like a victory. Probably the loudest I ever heard Tiger Stadium in person.

The LSU FG kicker barely missed a 50 yarder as time ran out, but the LSU fans stood cheering as the Tigers ran off the field to the locker room. One of the great Cholly Mac defensive classics!
