Who is/was the best to ever play football at LSU???

There have been numerous threads about this. I'd say Tommy Casanova. As far as reasons, you just had to see him play to know why.

Billy Cannon is the easy answer, although Kevin Faulk has to be up there. Cecil Collins could have been the best had he not been an idiot.

he wasn't the best on the field player,BUT he was still a GREAT player..but add on everything else he has done for LSU and in the community, and Jerry Stovall has a very impressive resume

all american
2nd overall pick in the draft
SHOULD have won the heisman
3 time pro bowler
took over as coach for LSU before he was ready
former walter camp coach of the year


his losses to the wave will haunt him forever, but you'll be hard pressed to find a better all around tiger


the fact that cannon has his name on tiger stadium and stovall doesn't is truly a shame

In addition to everything you said, Stovall could have walked on water and not won the Heisman that year. The writers were in love with Terry Baker who got cut by the Rams and Stovall went on to make All Pro several times. He was in the 8th grade when I graduated high school and the 8th grade team probably could have beaten our school team that year.

The names I've always heard have been Cannon and Casanova. Didn't really get to see either one, but that's what the old timers say.

Best I probably saw in person was K. Faulk, just due to all the yards and points. I think he's only behind H. Walker in total yards gained in the SEC.


(Did McFadden ever pass Faulk?)

I don't post much, but this topic is worn out like a german porn star.
