Even healthy, Alexander wasn't the type of back that you would watch and say, "That guy is special!" Williams and Davis and Toefield and even Vicent would create some awe. I did forget about the hamstring deal. By the way, do you think Williams ,as a sophomore outshined Faulk's sophomore year???

Kevin Faulk is in my opinion. Notice how he got better when Cecil came here. He could do it all and got better each year. That is why he has all of the records, he was not one dimensional.

What is your problem with Alexander? It can't be based upon facts because the fact is he was one of the greatest running backs ever at LSU.

I would have to disagree. Even as a small child I noticed many, many plays where Alexander looked VERY special.

Whether you are talking about Harvey, Keiland, or Germaine, I'd have to say the answer is no. I don't think any of them had any season that outshined any of Faulk's.

Difference of opinion. There were games during his Junior year where Alexander shredded "8 men in the box". 7, 8, 9 carries in a row culminating in an Alexander touchdown run. "Another Alexander Drive" was often heard from John Ferguson. He was seen as special to many on those nights. Harvey Williams sophomore season (pre-blown knee) he was quite a force but I'd give Faulk the slightest of advantages due to his kick-returning.
