Best rb to put on an lsu uniform in my opinion regardless of stats or games played. Dude was unstoppable

Sounds like the 2007 Double OT loss to Kentucky under Miles. Scott ran all over Kentucky, until Miles opted to stop giving him the ball. It wasn't because Kentucky scheme adjusted. It was because Miles was being his arrogant hard headed self. That loss was 100 on Coaching.

I agree completely climate change is a hoax. However, we should NEVER wear anything other than gold/white/gold unless we're forced to by the opposition.

Don't fLuck with the double goal post or marking off every 5 yards in Tiger stadium either.

He was a piece of crap. Great football player. Horrible person. Had a number of friends who were around him in college and it wasn’t good.

I'm old school; when I first followed LSU football in the early 1960's we only ever wore the purples in road games. Gold/white/gold was the only conceivable uniform to be worn at home, and remained so until 1983 when the NCAA mandated that home teams wear their colors.

To me purple jerseys are fine on the road, but for ALL home games we need to stay with the traditional scheme. That, bro, was Gerry Dinardo's most significant contribution to LSU football

Collins was the best RB on that team, and that includes Kevin Faulk. Speed and vision were comparable, power difference was very noticeably in Collins' favor. And that's not taking anything away from Faulk, he was great.

No he wasn't. Why do people act like Cecil didn't get a chance after lsu? He couldn't hack it in the nfl while Faulk has superbowl rings. The pedestal this 4 game rb gets put on is mind blowing.

And yes I saw every single carry of his career.

What I can say about him is saw him in high school at the same time as Peyton, Josh Booty and a couple of years prior Kevin Faulk and as a high school player never saw a kid who could impact a game as much as him.

Had he kept out of trouble he would be the standard Gen X looked at for LSU running backs.
