Among Louisiana running backs I've seen:

1. Cecil Collins
2. Kevin Faulk
3. Leonard Fournette
4. Lawrence Nixon
5. Warrick Dunn

I could be overlooking some deserving folks, this is just off the top of my head.

A couple of comments:

1. Fournette still has a season to go, plus more games in the post-season, so he could do things to make my perception of him greater than the top two. By the way, I was in Cougar Stadium last night, so I saw him in pretty much his finest hour to date.

2. If you know who Lawrence Nixon is, bonus points. But every major football program plus Rick Pitino knew who he was very well.

Jennings High School, hell of a back. Had more legal trouble than Cecil Collins. Didn't his coaches have to get him out of jail so he could play in the state championship in 93?
