re: Who is the best running back in LSU history?

You have to compare by the era. Era 1. Cannon. (the sport was not as atheletic as it has become for obvious reasons).
Era 2. Alexander. (teams didnt throw much then and defenses were unsofisticated). Era 3. Faulk ( most versatile tiger ever. Tops in the sec in all purpose yds). None of the others compare althoughni loved dalton hilliard. People who say Hester must be under 30.
