Carlos Carson nickname was Can't Catch Carson, this is because Steve had an arm and never meet a bullet he didn't throw.
Carson caught 5 for 5 TD's in the Rice game for 201 yards, in that game Charles was pulled very early. If I remember correct, Steve had 4 td pass and Woodley 1 td pass to Carlos that night.

My favorite Tiger of All-time he rushed for 1686 Yards as a Junior with another 197 in the Sun Bowl and 1172 as a Senior with 133 in The Liberty Bowl He was very exciting to watch.

My freshman year was his senior. Loved to watch him play.
Played pickup basketball with him one time. He knocked me down with 2 hand chest pass.

He was a great running back for the Tigers, but also was a very articulate young man. Loved watching him play.

he wore his jersey short
Tearaways. Those were the shite. It was always so cool to see a back hauling arse down the field with his jersey in shreds. THAT was football.

He was Fournette with better cuts. He was fast. 6’1” 215-220. A tremendous leader as well.
Coach Mac screwed him with 9 in the box when he ran. Some of those old plays, should be used by Canada. They were slick.

Check out the flag that flutters in front of the camera at the 2:33 -2:34 mark of that video.

One of the greatest backs ever in college football!!! 
Awesome.

Power. Speed. A poor man's version of Bo and Herschel. Seemed to break a long one every game.

My freshman year was his senior year.
All you need to know were the bumper stickers: Charlie4Heisman.
Was ahead of his time with a speed/power combination. Ran a sub-4.4 40 at 215 lbs., very rare at the time.
My favorite Tiger of all time.

I wasn't alive when he played and I know his name so probably pretty good.

Alexander was a great back. Not only that, but he seemed like a really cool guy.
I remember crossing him in Allen Hall a few times and he was always friendly to everyone. And seemed a lot bigger than 6'1" 220. He was almost as big as some of his linemen, they were a good bit smaller then than what you see today.
And for a big guy he had speed to go with power. Go to about the 6:08 mark in the video and watch him outrun the Ole Miss secondary. I remember this game watching from the student section.
ETA: RIP Hokie.

Emerged after Brad Davis and Terry Robiskie (wasn't that impressed with the latter).
Robiskie was a good back, Alexander was a great back. Really, Alexander should have started over Robiskie Terry's senior year, but Mac almost always went with the upperclassman. That year, Robiskie gained 1100 yards, Alexander over 800.
