Rondell Mealey...how good was this guy?

Many LSU fans (myself included) felt that Mealey was just as good, if not better, running the ball than Faulk. However, Faulk was a lot more versatile and had the ability to break away at any minute. In two of the three years they played together, Mealey had better yards per carry. I looked forward to his senior year when he wasn't going to have to share the backfield with Faulk. Unfortunately, our bad o-line and even worse OC, Bob McConnell, would have other plans.

I had some classes with Mealey and Faulk. Mealey was a good dude and he certainly attended class more than Faulk. Faulk was a star and you'd never know he was in your class until test time. lol
