More compelling than:

Rushed for more than 100 yards in 22 games during his career and the Tigers were 18-4 in those games

Rushed for more than 200 yards four times, including a school record 246 vs. Houston in 1996

Was the leading rusher in the SEC in each of his junior and senior seasons and became only the sixth player in SEC history to lead the league in rushing twice during a career

I'm not going to dispute any of the stats and/or reasons you gave for Faulk. Almost all of the others I mentioned were multiple time All-Americans.

Again, my biggest point is that a program with a tradition as rich as LSU's should have more than two players honored in the stadium.
