I am sure this topic has come up before, but as I was sitting and thinking back to some of the best college players I have seen play against us, it dawned on me that LSU did not play against Herschel Walker and I do not remember them playing Bo Jackson. Are there any other great players we missed seeing? Rantards remember?

I am asking mostly about our regular SEC foes who have been on rotating schedules. I know there are plenty of players who have never had the opportunity to play here. George Rogers played for SC before they joined the SEC correct?

Peyton Manning never played in TS...Come to think of it, I do not remember us even playing against him anywhere.

Probably the Archie Manning right off the top of my head.

That's a good one. Would have loved to see him play against us. We would have owned him like we owned Eli.

I wish. He gave us our only loss in 1969.

Including guys not from the SEC? That list is too long to even begin. From within the SEC, I'd say Peyton, Bo Jackson (I think). I was going to say Reggie White, but it looks like he must have played in TS in 1983.

Uh Archie definitely played in Tiger Stadium. Remember the song Archie Who. LSU beat him 61-17 in Tiger Stadium he played with a cast on his arm.

Did LSU play Georgia when they had Champ Bailey?
