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

I wonder how many yards Billy Cannon would have had if they adjusted for inflation? If you look at his stats:

Led the Tigers in rushing with 598 yards on 139 carries (4.3 per rush) ... Rushed for five touchdowns ... Caught 11 passes for 161 yards ... Served as the Tiger’s punter for a majority of the season, punting 44 times for 1,774 yards (40.3 per punt) ... Was the Tiger’s primary return man, returning eight kickoffs for 191 yards (23.8 per return) and 15 punts for 221 yards (14.7 per return) and one touchdown ... Also served as the anchor for the Tiger’s defense, returning four interceptions for 145 yards (47.6 per interception) ...

RB's these days are amassing 11-15 TDs a season, and rushing for twice that.
