Billy Cannon.For those who never saw Cannon,you need to know that he also played defense at times. In the game against Ole Miss(7to3)Cannon played linebacker and was responsible in keeping Ole Miss from scoring at the LSU one yard line.Cannon often played both offense and defense something that doesn't happen today.

Admittedly I wasn't around for this, (my dad wasn't even born yet) but yesterday I read part of Dietzl's book, and it said that this was the game that the chinese bandits got their identity. Specifically this series. So, LSU fumbles and it gets returned to 1st and goal, and Dietzl sent in the chinese bandits which held them to only a field goal.... Cannon was on white team.

Are you sure that Cannon was playing defense at this time?? I only ask because I read this just yesterday. Maybe white team played 1st down then the chinese bandits went in for 2nd - 4th??
