re: I really wanted to read Billy Cannon's New Authorized Bio Straight Through...

Will not get into the debate re his being the greatest of all times at LSU, but pick any other candidates & ask yourself if they could play both ways.Basically the whole game. Back then, there was no open substitution, and he only came off the field for a very short period of time. Paul Deitzel always said that the most remarkable thing about Cannon's run that nite was how hot & incredibly humid it was that nite & yet Cannon only left the field for a handful of plays & was on the goal line stand at the end of the game, he, QB W. Rabb & RB J.Robinson making the game saving tackle. I can name a few who played both ways, Stovall, Casanova come to mind, but no one else won the Heisman. Put that game on ESPN today & he'd be three times as famous as he was back then.
