re: Best LSU QB ever.........

I agree.
Tittle was better in the pros, Woodley started a Super Bowl, and Bert Jones also won an NFL MVP one year, but I don't think anybody else has ever been named 1st Team All-SEC QB four times. Over the course of a 4-year college career, no LSU QB has been better than Hodson.

+1. The key part of the statement is "best LSU QB". In college no one performed better than Hodson. With the surrounding cast of '03- '07 Hodson was a guy who could have gone undefeated. He was that good. Heck, had he not gotten injured in '87 that team could have gone undefeated(did have a tie with OSU). The question of best overal career would be a tie between Tittle and Jones IMO. Most pure QB talent(that was mostly wasted at LSU) would be Jones by a mile. He had the rocket arm of JR, the guts of Hodson and the work ethic of Flynn. He also played for a coach(governed some by the era)who looked upon the forward pass as a last resort in his offense.
