Also, no LSU list is complete without G.E. 'Doc' Fenton- The man who put LSU football on the map, & was the QB for probably the best college team of all time, bar none- the 1908 Tigers, who are deserving of more attention than they have received... Got to love the recruiting pitch to get Doc Fenton to come to Baton Rouge- nickle beers...

all time LSU team
Tommy Casanova played CB Correct

Rydell Melancon played OLB May have been listed as LB, but more or less played DE

George Bevan played LB Correct

Greg Jackson played Safety Chevis, not Greg

Also I have to ask Ray Coates? Longest punt in LSU history

Of all the players who punted for LSU Ray?

I am one of the few that know much of his playing days at LSU and he would never come to mind on an All Time LSU team.

Mawae is a very bad pick as is Duhe.. Incorrect

Estay and Marshall are easy better picks on the DL over Duhe. Incorrect

Wilkerson, Stewart and McClure are all the top centers in LSU history. Maybe Stewart

Tyler Lafouche is a weak pick on the OL line. Incorrect

Doucet was good, but not quite that good. So was Martin, if you put him then also could put Carlos Carson. LSU has had some outstanding WR's through the years so any pick would have to be argued very well. My personal favorites were Hamilton and Davis. But then I am old school and remember guys from the late 60's.

Dwayne Bowe and Michael Clayton should be ahead of Early Doucet at WR. Bowe and Clayton were not only talented pass catchers, but the two best blocking WR's to ever play at LSU. They did not merely shield defenders on running plays, they would de cleat them if given the chance.

David Lafleur should be included at TE for the same reason. Not only soft hands, but a beast of a run blocker. Probably Robert Royal. Great pass receiver.

Center should be Ben Wilkerson as he is the most talented player to ever play the position for LSU. No other LSU center has had his combination of quickness, size and strength. Mawae has had a great NFL career at center, but he actually played tackle while at LSU.

On the offensive line, I would add Andrew Whitworth. He started for 4 years at the toughest position on the offensive line, left tackle. Not only did he start for 4 years, but played the position well. Great run blocker and good pass blocker.

At fullback I would add Quinn Johnson for the simple fact he is the best blocking fullback I have ever seen at LSU. If you doubt his abililty, look no further than LSU's lack of run game this season. That is due in large part to Quinn Johnson being gone.

On the defensive line, I would add Leonard Marshall and Marcus Spears over Melancon.
