National champion.
I'm pretty sure TM played BOTH games vs Bama that year. Even recall an 15 yard penalty when he took a cheapshot on Bama's punt returner in regulation.

Cecil Collins

When we lost Cecil, we had this other guy (name escapes me....Folk, Fox, something) who filled in fairly well.
When we lost RP, the talent dropoff from there was massive.

Honey Badger- truly had a shot at Heisman
I'm sure he can wipe up those tears with his NFL paychecks. Doesn't belong on this list. He should have had more time at LSU, but he did enough with his time here to get himself paid.
Cecil Collins is the correct answer.

Is ratphuc Jr. getting any recruiting attention? He should be in around the 8th grade by now.

Nah, Perriloux was great, even might have been amazing, but Collins was absolutely unreal and would have been a Heisman candidate.

If the thread was who wasted more of LSU's time and left us in a pickle, RP hands down, but since it is about who wasted their own personal opportunity, Cecil wins this argument 6 days a week and twice on Sunday's

Cecil the Diesel no question about it.

Didn't read this entire post, but it is C. Collins. RP may have been a back up in the NFL for a few years, but Collins would have been a star. I remember a couple of analysts saying he was the second best RB in the world behind only Barry Sanders before his injury and then the other crap.

Perriloux had NFL 1st round talent. I already said Cecil could have been put up there with guys like Barry Sanders, Bo Jackson, Adrian Peterson, and Herschel Walker, but don't act like Perriloux was just a run of the mill great QB.
In that Crowton system and what he learned from Jimbo Fisher along with his talent, he was a heisman QB. We had the receiving talent as well.

Not quite enough games to put him Hershel and Bo's league.
4 games just not enough to crown great.
Cecil Collins did waste his opportunity but from what I have been told he was he is just not all there upstairs. I am not so sure you say he wasted his opportunity if he was unstable.

Cecil...easy
Oh, did you notice the toss dive? I guess it's an LSU thing and not a Les Miles thing.

quote:I disagree. You have to understand a couple things about the Cecil Collins phenomenon-

1st off, Kevin Faulk was 1st team all-SEC, and an All-American. Going into the season, he was the best back in the conference. And yet, when he went down and Collins came in, Collins was CLEARLY better.
2nd thing, you have to understand the competition. You see Miss St and Auburn on the highlights, you might not understand- those were big, physical teams. State had Jackie Sherrill, and had recently won the West. They were big on defense, even compared to current Alabama standards. And Auburn prided itself on it's beastly defense, had several future All Pro's (Takeo Spikes etc). Collins didn't do anything fancy, he just mauled them.
For perspective, he ran against top-notch SEC defenses the way Fournette did against A&M and Notre Dame, 2 current teams not thought of as good defenses.
