re: LSU's leading receiver in yards for every season back to 1980

quote:

---

1992 - Scott Ray - 11, 38 for 534, 14.1, 1 TD (1,987 yds)


Cannot remember this name at all, anyone else?

I actually met Scott at his wedding (well, rehearsal dinner)--I was friends with his wife and my girlfriend at the time had a part in the wedding. Super, super nice guys, and went out of his way to talk to me and make me fell welcome, even though there were way over 100 people there. Anyway, he's probably 8-9 years older than me, so I was 12 or 13 his JR. or SR. years. But I was a die hard even then and remembered him playing. He told me some Curley stories. But I would have never in a million years thought he actually led the team in receiving 1 year. I remembered him being like a 4th or 5th guy. Guess I was wrong.

Though that was around the time that Curley--somehow--landed that stud 4-headed RB class (Jay Johnson, David Butler, Robert Davis, Robert Toomer?--Ithough Jermaine Sharpe was in that class, but it looks like he came the next year) and probably just ran the ball a shite-ton. Had a lot of other RBs on that team too. Although, we had Chad Loupe and Jesse Daigle as Jrs. Not great, but could actually throw a forward pass. Anyway, good for Scott. Great guy and I'm glad he's got that distinction for 1 year, even though that number is doesn't hold up to today's standards.

BTW, looking at that '92 roster, that freshman class was pretty impressive. And Curley had already had 2 bad years, so not sure how he pulled that off. Not knowing who redshirted, here are some notable freshman on that team other than the RBs I mentioned:

Jamie Howard
Tory James
Sheddrick Wilson
David LaFleur
Mike Calais (loved that dude, thought he was gonna be a huge star before injury)
Gabe Northern

Some other big names on that team. Jesus, Curley sucked.
