I honestly think it would just be rbs. Cannon, Taylor, Alexander, Hilliard, Faulk, Fournette (in due time). Take your pick at any 4. We've had other great players, but those rbs made their teams and a couple almost won the heisman and 1 did. I feel like most people know about Cannon, Hilliard, Faulk, and Fournette so I'll add some info on Taylor and Alexander.

On Taylor:
"During the two seasons Jim Taylor played for the Louisiana State University Tigers (1956 and 1957), he became the first player in history to lead the SEC in rushing for two consecutive years. Taylor was also the first fullback in LSU history to earn All-America honors. He was named LSU's and the Senior Bowl's MVP and was inducted into the LSU Hall of Fame in 1957."

On Alexander:
Charles Alexander, a two-time All-American and Heisman Trophy finalist who played at LSU from 1975-78, has been named to the prestigious College Football Hall of Fame, it was announced by the National Football Foundation on Tuesday.
Before there was Herschel Walker or Bo Jackson, there was Charles Alexander. The MVP of the Southeastern Conference in 1977, he set nine SEC records and tied for another. At the end of a stellar career that included a pair of All-America and All-SEC honors, his name sat atop 27 LSU records. In two bowl games, he was responsible for 330 yards. He rushed for more than 150 yards on nine occasions and twice topped the 200-yard mark during his LSU career.
