He's the all-time all purpose yards leader in the history of the greatest conference in college football. Almost 1,000 more yards than the next closest player. 5th in the history of college football. All this while spliting carries with Kendall Cleveland his freshman year and Mealey for the next three years. Billy Cannon could have won ten Heismans and run a 1.94 100 yd dash, he's not even in the top ten rushers at LSU. Faulk is head and shoulders above everyone else and only Hilliard and Alexander should even be compared to him.

1st Billy Cannon
2nd Charles Alexander
3rd Dalton Hilliard
4th Kevin Faulk
The rest:
Steve Van Buren
Jimmy Taylor
Joseph Addai
Harvey Williams
Terry Robiskie
Domanick Davis
Brad Davis
Jesse Fatherree
For those that do not know Alexander played behind Terry Robiskie for 2 years, in every game LSU lead by more than 2 TD's his Jr. and Sr. year he was pulled out of the game most everytime. Mac never believed in running up the score, that night in 1977 when LSU beat Rice 77 to 0, Alexander was pulled very early and LSU went to passing as Rice could not stop the run.
Alexander could have had more than 1 400 yard game had he not been pulled in those routs.
Charles Alexander you will notice is 1 of only 2 consensus 2 time All Americans at running back, the other is not Kevin Faulk it is Billy Cannon.
Alexander is also running behind at the time, what was called a weak SEC line.
Of the backs on the above list Steve Van Buren is running behind the weakest line for his time at LSU.
The backs with the best lines Jospeh Addai, Harvey Williams, Kevin Faulk and Jesse Fatherree for thier time at LSU.
Doc Fenton would be on the list had he not played at E and QB, because he is a rb playing QB.
