He was a pretty good DT for LSU in the 2000s before he went down in Fall Camp with a season-ending leg injury before the 2007 season.

Alexander was a tremendous back, Cannon was before my time. Alexander was as good as any LSU back after Cannon. And that's a fact.

Should have won two Heismans - but he played in the south and was wrong religion

He was an outstanding running back. 4.4 speed, strong and elusive. He could play today. Those number are when they only played 10 games tops per year
Charles was big, strong, and fast but not a lot of shake-n-bake. Didn't play much in '75 as a true Fr. Shared TB duties with Terry Robiskie in '76 (pretty good RB in his own right). Was the feature back in '77 and '78.
Didn't seem like he ever fumbled (I'm sure he probably did but it didn't seem like it). Was a quintessential workhorse RB of that era. So darn tough. Carried it about 20 - 25 times from the I-formation.
Here's a nice run vs Stanford in the '77 Sub Bowl.
