Wasn't it Eric Martin in 1981 against Kentucky?

For the all the people who "know" LSU football no it wasn't Kevin Faulk. Having a debate amongst some people.

I seem to remember yelling "eddie, eddie" quiet a bit in the 90's because of his returns. However, i really couldn't tell you if it was punt returns for touchdowns or kickoffs.

getting old.

I would've thought Kennison or Faulk.

Edit: Did Green return one? Or was it a punt?

I think Martin vs UK in '81 was LSU's last. Tim Brown ran one back for Notre Dame in 1986.

I think it was the 2003 LSU-UF game. It was our only score in that game. No ideal why the player was.

It's amazing it could've been that long with all the great return guys we've had:

Green
Holliday
Kennison
Faulk

for starters

Faulk returned one for a TD while he was here, but it was AT Notre Dame in 1998.....right after he fumbled the ball deep in Tiger territory, which ND picked up and returned for a TD.

Holliday returned one against Ole Miss in 2007, but at Oxford. Kennison returned one against Michigan State in 1995 at the Independence Bowl. So, your list is a good one, just not at Tiger Stadium. :(

That was a Skyler Green punt return not a kickoff return.

Trindon has had two (Ole Miss and Arkansas). I am pretty sure Ole Miss was in Oxford, and I think Arkansas was in Little Rock. Eddie Kennison had one in the Independence Bowl against Michigan State. I don't believe there have been any others in recent memory, although I'm not 100% certain.

LSU: TD, S Green 80 YD PUNT RETURN (R Gaudet KICK)

Game was correct, though.

You are correct. Trindon's return against Arkansas was in Little Rock in 2006. LSU won that one 31-26.

You guys can stop trying to think of one. Eric Martin's in 1981 was definitely the last.
