I love that Jarvis made this diagram

There's not really any comparison.

Proved Cannon was and is still a bigger, as fast and stronger player. He did that shite on a wet field from what I could tell.

Thanks for the link and comparison chart. Both against Ole Miss, both 89 yards, both in Tiger Stadium, both were incredible runs and game changers.
But to be honest, Odell's run pales in comparison to Billy's as far as significance. Ole Miss was a helluva team in Cannon's day, with one of the toughest defenses in the country. Cannon's punt return provided the only points for LSU that night.
What is always overlooked in remembering that night however, is that LSU's defense played just as dramatic a role in winning that game as Cannon's punt return did, with an historic goal-line stand stopping Ole Miss on fourth down at the LSU 2 yard line with only 18 seconds left in the game.

Well, they happened at different times for sure. Cannon finished his return way way way before Beckham crossed the goal line. Not even close.

Nice job on the graphic. Two very different players and two different runs.
Screw Ole Miss!!!!

Chad Jones return, while not in Tiger Stadium, also worth comparing, waving arm and both returners wore No. 3

I love that graphic. Thanks for sharing.
And why in the fricking frick are some of you trying to compare a player from 1959 with one from 2012?
Dear God! Just enjoy it. I know we're all a little heartbroken that we don't have a QB controversy to fill our precious tiger rant. but give it up.;
