re: Billy Cannon versus Leonard Fournette

Larry289 - great post

It's worth noting that prior to Alvin Roy bringing weight lifting to Istrouma High as part of training that the sports world frowned on weight lifting for sports training. They had the mindset that bulking would slow athletes down when it works just the opposite. Billy would have been a monster training under today's conditions. Wait, he was a monster back then!

To the guy that brought up how slow Cannon was at the end of "the run" Billy admitted how flat out wasted tired he was. They had been playing in rain (uni's soaked) and playing both O and D. I've stated before if Cannon doesn't make the game saving tackle on the game's final play from LSU's 1 yard line LSU loses that game. The PR never would have had the effect it did had the Tigers not upset Ole Miss that night.

It would be interesting to see LF7 play D as well.
