Kind of surprised Josh Reed isn't on this list.

I kind of think he deserves to be there. That guy was ridiculous. Every single play, he has his own zip code.

tubucoco- I was thinking and you have a point with Miles philosophy on offense, and not to win the Heisman or a championship is one thing, but to get FIRED with a once in a generation type back in his back field, is mind blowing and how out of touch he was with his scheme.

Fournette and Collins are the 2 best RB LSU ever had. Period

but my comment was more about how he used LF in his simple vanilla predominantly run based offense that he ran.


Behind one of the best run blocking lines in cfb, an olineman at te,and a beast at fb.
The scheme that miles ran showcased and was rb friendly except against bama.
We run out of more formation than 90% of cfb.
Those great oregon offenses ran just 4 different running plays.
Our scheme was not friendly to qbs, but to its a rbs dream to run behind a line built to run block,a 290 lbs te,and a beast fb.

Now i agree against teams like bama is was shite scheme but against the other teams its tailor made for a rb to shine.

You just can't line up a RB like that and run him to death

You cant be serious.
LF was was in the top 60 in rush attempts 1 time. He had 30 carries 2 times in his career.
Derrick Henry had more than 35 carries more than 4 times and over 40 carries 3 times.



i agree the sledding wouldve been easier if we had a more efficient passing attack

It wasnt the scheme that really held us back. It was his refusal to trust his qb and the refusal to use the middle of the field in the passing game. You saw how much better the scheme looked once miles was gone and that reluctance was gone. Thats refusal and the refusal to implement any spread concepts was his downfall.

Honey badger is first and I think josh reed is second. They both had the ability to take over a game. Faulk was great against bad teams, butrarelydid much against the big boys.

Billy cannon is on the ballot. He is the first name that you have an option to vote for.

Its embarrassing that Tyrann is not on the list.

Top 3 LSU player of all time.

Can make an argument that he is the greatest of all time.

If this answer was based strictly on the visual/opinion meter I'don't go with Cecil Collins. Otherwise, Billy.
