re: Were Mike Anderson, Bevan, Grezaffi, & Davis really that talented?

LSU had another tremendous punt returner named Craig Burns just prior to Grezaffi that I don't see his name anywhere when great punt returners are mentioned. He broke several for TD's and/or long punt returns. I think he was a teammate of Bevan at Baton Rouge High as well.
Burns was a contemporary of Casanova, also, and somewhat overshadowed by his punt returns, etc.
In the 51-17 Ole Miss blow out of ?1970, Burns returned one for a touchdown, but Casanova returned two---three punt returns for TD in one game.

Thanks for reminding us of T Casanova's 2 punt returns in that same game. Wasn't it 61-17? and Archie Manning played most of the game wearing a cast in his left broken arm!

Great thread, Doc!
Great memories! One of my favorite videos from the era:
LSU - Ole Miss 61-17 Video
Great cut block on Burns TD. And a fake reverse on Casanova's second TD.
