Even healthy, Alexander wasn't the type of back that you would watch and say, "That guy is special!"
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.

The immediate post Casanova/post Jones era often gets overlooked. We had lots of great players over Mac's last 6 years, and Alexander was by far the best. People forget that LSU has had only about 8 legitimate Heisman candidates (by my count - someone correct me if I missed somebody or if I exaggerated a candidacy), if you count defenders Casanova and Dorsey, along with backs and receivers, Cannon, Stovall, Jones, Alexander, Faulk and Josh Reed. (Note- Certainly Jamarcus Russell would have finished 1, 2 or 3 in the voting had he returned with comparable numbers in 2007 and had we still won the championship. Since he didn't return, I didn't count him.)
Cannon won it, Stovall came in second, but only Cannon and Alexander finished in the top 10 of voting, twice.
