re: Tyrann Mathieu names his top 5 LSU athletes of all time

Here’s what a different game he was playing: Over three, 10-game seasons at LSU he averaged 5.2 YPC but never reached 700 yards & only reached 600 once.

That’s because the NCAA had crazy substitution rules back then. You could only enter the game twice per quarter. That’s why everyone played both ways. That’s why Dietzel implemented the three team platoon system. The White team, the Go team and the Chinese Bandits.

Had Cannon played with todays rules he would’ve eclipsed 1000 yards easily.
