He should have won the Heisman his last year. I believe it was a QB from either of the Oregon universities. Stovall was playing both ways as well as returning punts. He was robbed by the West Coast voters.

what a shame. My years at LSU were 'The Stovall Years.' Great team in 1982 but a much greater man. A true ambassador for LSU.

Sorry to hear that.
He was a great man and a great Tiger.
My days as a student corresponded with his tenure as coach.

Quality individual who loved the Tigers and answered the call to help his Alma Mater in its time of need after the tragedy of Bo Rein's death.

He was the LSU coach in my freshman year. Got the job when Bo Rein was lost in a plane crash.

One of the best to don the Tiger uniform. RIP Mr. Stovall.

The year Jerry missed the Heisman Trophy there was another great QB at Georgia Tech named Billy Lothridghe I believe. IN addition to losing the West Coast vote Billy Lothridge split the Southeast vote and that too was a major factor in his coming in 2nd. I'll always believe that he indeed was the true winner and the award was "stolen" form him.

Great man.
An acquaintance of mine was a VP at the bank in St.Louis where Stovall worked during his Cardinal years. He told me the on Monday morning after a game, Jerry would be the first guy in the office and one of the last to leave. He could see the pain in his face, but he sucked it up and worked his butt off.
