This is by far the highest quality video I have ever seen of the play. On all previous footage of the famous punt return, the camera actually looses Cannon for a moment, but in this video the camera never loses him.

If you watch the entire video you will notice it plays the older film I am referring to after.

Always wanted to see the action in that brief moment the camera lags behind.

Thank you for posting!

Looks like we can add two broken tackles to the run.

The fans were allowed to be very close to the end zones back then.

The field was actually much farther north. There's also footage from storming the field after the 2000 Tennessee game and they allowed play to continue with the students right on the grey on the edge of the field. I couldn't imagine them letting that happen today.

That was my first LSU game as a kid. Took home a piece of the tiger eye turf and transplanted it in the backyard.
