Good call on Mealy. What a crazy time for that running back room even though Collins had to sit out his freshmen year. LSU had a stable.

10) I think it was either Eddie Fuller or Victor Jones. I'll narrow this to one educated guess: Victor Jones?

10). It was Victor Jones. Harvey Williams slipped and hurt his knee at the 6 yard line after a seven yard run put him over the 1,000 yard rushing mark for the season. Jones got the call on the next three handoffs after Harvey's agonizing injury and ran it in for a TD on 3rd down. I was there
