My high school principal was one of the defenders he juked.

The man liked to point out the 21-0 drumming in the bowl game at their hands, be he acknowledged what a tremendous play that was and it gave LSU national attention as that was one of the first CFB highlight reels, and was played in movie theaters, nationally, during the “news” that ran before the film.

I thought of that just the other day when the discussion about whether JD and Malik would play or sit out for the NFL trial.

I began to wonder if Cannon and some of the others promised to 'not take a chance on getting injured' to the AFL agents - cause he signed with the AFL immediately after the game - "under the goalposts" I think they said.

That was one hell of a team Ol Miss had - they hammered us good during our win - and embarrassed us in the bowl game.

Still fondly recall the "halloween run" tho -
