i wonder if this tribute was because he passed away this year?

Yea, that was cool. Cannon was Bo Jackson before Bo Jackson. Freak athlete.

It was and it was very well done. I had chill bumps and something must have gotten my eyes, kept watering.

It will make its way out eventually. I’ll be on the lookout and post it here if I find it.

I didn’t realize Ole Miss punted on third down for Cannon’s run.
Why would a team do that back in the 50s?

Heck Ole Miss actually punted on first down a couple of times in that game. LSU's offense was so inept and fumble-prone back then that the Rebels kept advancing field position by putting the game in the hands of their defense.
And y'all think Coach Emzinger was bad! I have no idea who the OC at LSU was back then, but I can only visualise what the Rant looked like the evening of the Tiger Sugar Bowl loss to Ole Miss (21-0) on Jan. 1, 1960.

Maybe not fumble prone anymore, but Jesus, I had no idea we've always been inept on offense.

I didn’t realize before that Cannon played in the same backfield with Jimmy Taylor in 1957. Mind-boggling talent!

Ceremony on EspnU now. Johnny Robinson was in the backfield too

If you go to Watch ESPN and go to replay it is there. Start at the 35 min mark.
I will never forget that moment...

It wasn't a matter of LSU being a bad offensive team. The Ole Miss defense gave up only 14 points the entire year.
