* Special Note I don't even know what position Doc Fenton played but he has to be incuded in any list of all time great Tigers. He played in 1908 and for all I know football in those days might have been more like rugby than football as we know it today but from what I have read about him he scored an amazing number of points for one of only two LSU teams ever to go undefeated. [/B][/QUOTE] Doc was considered a QB. Ran one hell of an option.

1. Doc Fenton (my great great uncle knew him, said he ran 100 yards and would finish 20 yards ahead of the next closest guy, was completely impossible to tackle, and played his senior season with a broken leg.) 2. Billy Cannon 3. Tommy Casanova 4. Josh Reed 5. Charles Alexander/ Jerry Stovall also whoever posted best by position, you left Jeff Wickersham off your list of QB's. I was young then, but I remember him being very very good.
Hey I can't remember everybody who every played but its my bad leaving Jeff Wickersham off the list, especially since I knew him during his college days.
Nowhere do I see Henry Thomas. Let me say that for two years in the 80's he was the baddest man on the feild and both teams knew it!
Good call! He was one of the 1st players I thought of before I read this thread. 80's - Present Defense: 1) Henry Thomas 2) Michael Brooks 3) Leonard Marshall 4) Anthony McFarland 5) Bradie James/Eric Hill Offense: 1) Dalton Hilliard 2) Josh Reed 3) Wendell Davis 4) Tommy Hodson 5) Eric Andolsek/Alan Faneca
