James and Spears are history and hopefully Hetser and Davis will be next. I hope two Tigers (Henderson and Gay) win a ring this year. Saintslogo
No, what gave me the idea to start this thread was because of how cool it was to watch LSU 2003 Champion WR Henderson vs. LSU 2007 Champion WR Doucet... in the Dome, the same place they both helped led LSU to a National Championship. In those NCAA Title Games in the Dome, Henderson had 2 catches for 24 yards (Mauck only threw for 124) and Doucet had 2 carries for 7 yards and 7 catches (#1 on the team) for 51 yards (#1 on the team) and a TD. Yesterday, Henderson had 4 catches (tied #2 on the team) for 68 yards (#2 on the team) and 1 TD (44-yard TD catch!)... and Doucet had 8 receptions (#1 on the team) for 68 yards (#2 on the team behind Fitz's 77 yards). :LSU231:
Hester got a 15-yard reception today, the longest reception of his young career. He also came inches away from blocking a punt that could quite possibly have changed the outcome of the game. Faneca was a beast again today. With his blocking, rookie Shonn Greene ran for 128 yards (5.6 YPC). Faneca blew open the hole that gave Green a 53-yard TD run and put the Jets up 17-7. Faneca and his line also sealed the game by converting on 4th and 1 with 1:09 left to play.
Originally from John Curtis in New Orleans. Then went to Houston (I guess his parents got transferred). From NFL.com: Born: 12/7/1976 New Orleans , LA High School: John Curtis Christian HS [New Orleans, LA]; Lamar HS [Houston, TX] Alan Faneca
