re: Best LSU RB ever??

Having followed Alexander's career at LSU closely, I can say that he was a big disappointment. I mean, he accomplished a lot, but did not meet people's expectations, particularly his senior year. The best way to describe his skills is to look at his 5-6 year career at Cin. Bengals, in which he played fullback in front of a huge TB named Johnson (?) and was a slam mouth player. Straight ahead with power. He played behind Terry Robiske for two years and was not Robiske's equal, even in spite of the fact that Terry was slightly smaller and a lot slower. Alexander's stats may merit him to be in the top 5, but not his skill level. Harvey Williams (even after his surgery), Dominick Davis, and Toefield (before his injury) were much better. Sorry, Charles the Great wasn't that great.
