why do most fans automatically pick Faulk over Fournette


Faulk holds the SEC record for the most all purpose yards...

If Mathieu had played that last season and had a near duplicate of his 2011 season, I would have included him.

Cannon
Burrow
Dorsey

the last is down to 2-3 max

Fenton
Casanova
Gaynell Tinsley

Hard vote on Fenton for the 3rd spot over Tommy and Gaynell, and I mean a real hard vote.

The rest are a step back of those 6, with only about 5 close to that group:

Peterson
Mathieu
Chase
Davis
Hodson

There is a step down to the next group that include many names already listed like:

Alexander
Reed
Faulk
Jones
Faneca
Andolsek
Jefferson
Stovall
Steve Van Buren
there are about 20+ more on this level.

Had the Heisman vote been after the Bowl game, Steve Van Buren would have won; he was an unknown to much of the nation until the Orenge Bowl game.

Look, he’s one of my favorite players ever, but he got kicked out of school.

He’s disqualified from being on the Mt Rushmore of LSU football.

And it’s clear you are very young with Faneca being the oldest guy on your list.


No Billy Cannon, No Tommy Cassanova??????

The 4 most decorated players in LSU history are:

Billy Cannon
Tommy Casanova - only 3 time 1st team All American
Glenn Dorsey
Joe Burrow

Are they the best four? Go way back and some say Gaynell Tinsley was the best LSU football player they ever saw. Stovall, Bert, Charles, Faulk, Pat P. Honeybadger....the list is long but I'm good with the 2 Heismans, the only 3 time AA and the most decorated defensive player on the Mountain.

Glen Dorsey in place of Mathieu if you don't like the fact that Mathieu's career was short.

It’s not that his career was short, it’s that he got kicked off the team and kicked out of school. That should automatically eliminate him from the list.
