I wish the young kids were around for Faulk

As great as he was, there was a three-game stretch when he rode the pine.

ETA: Check the stat book, the Diesel took his playing time until he broke his leg.

Cecil Collins was just spectacular. He, Faulk and Mealey were all 3 different backs. But, if I had to pick based on talent, I'm taking Collins. That game he had against Auburn was just insane.

Still my favorite tiger. He wasn't Bo or Herschel, but for my $, greatest APB of the modern SEC era. Nothing he couldn't do with the ball in his hands. Would love to meet him one day.

Faulk was injured at the time.

Faulk was hurt for those games

B.S. - check the injury report ... Cecil ONLY started 3 games ahead of Faulk because #3 pulled a hammy vs. UTEP which was the 1st game of the season. Faulk was not 100% thus he sat out vs. MSU and AUB. Once Faulk got healthy, he got the start ahead of Cecil @ Vanderbilt. Cecil breaks his leg early in the 2Q and the rest is history

That had to be the most talented running backs room in LSU history considering those three and Tommy Banks in there too.

Faulk and Guice had similar running styles. Like Faulk, I think Guice will have a 10-12 year pro career and you don't see that in this NFL era.

Guide reminds me more of Ridley

I remember when he committed. It was news in Louisiana and there were hundreds of people at his announcement press conference and the state was a buzz!
