No pics, but I think Carol Otis Trimble wore #2. I might be wrong, though.

Not helping much but the lower jersey numbers I recall from the 70s:

#1 Jimmy LeDoux, Mike Quintella
#3 Al Coffee, Carl Trimble, Carlos Carson
#4 Charles Alexander
#5 Mike Miley, Ensminger
#7 Bert Jones, Pat Lyons
#8 Rusty Jackson (PK), David Woodley
#9 Billy Broussard, LeRoyal Jones

Seems like there was a #2 Jim Kadl?

ETA: +Carson. Thanks nealnan8

Don Griffin, quarterback, in 1974

Mike Conway, kicker in 1977 and ‘78. Not sure when his career started and ended, but I have media guides for ‘74, ‘75 and ‘77. And I have an LSU-Tulane program from ‘78. Those are my sources.

ETA: College Football Reference has stats for Conway from 1976-78.

And LSUsports.net has cornerback Dale Begue in No. 2 in 1979.

Conway kicked in '76. Can't recall who was PK in '75. Steve Jackson punted and did KOs.

What # was Juan Roca?

Roca was No. 4.

Steve Jackson and Bobby Moreau each tried field goals in '75, according to this LSU-Tennessee game story from '75. I couldn't find any stats on the game or the season, and the media guide doesn't list anyone as a pure punter or place-kicker. Jackson is listed as a CB and Moreau as a QB in the media guide.

Conway was listed as a specialist in the list of scholarship freshmen in the media guide, but not sure if he was redshirted or if he ever kicked in a game that year.

LSU-Tennessee game story from '75

ETA: Steve Jackson kicked the extra points in LSU's 42-6 win against Tulane in the Dome in '75, according to this game story.

LSU 42, Tulane 6

We had a QB named Powell that wore #2 as I recall. Don’t know if it was 70s or 80s

Damn he only threw 26 career passes. I have no idea how I remembered his name and number.

Pretty impressive recall. I had forgotten about him.

"AL COFFEE in the game now in place of LeDoux." Can't believe early Nov will mark 50 years.
