    I still would have loved to have seen #44 David Fair play more. He was a hoss who blew his knee out in his first game (correct me if I am wrong on the # of games)

    He was 6-3 plus and 230 with speed to burn

    David Fair was rumored to be the next Herchel Walker at the time. Might have been an exaggeration, but he had it all.

    An early injury prevented this potential Heisman candidate for us.

    I'll always remember sitting in Tiger stadium watching Packer come around end and outrunning LSU's secondary for the TD.

    Wayne Jones and Shorty Mc Williams right at the Top. I think Shorty got Heisman votes. But Ole Hoyle Granger rushed for a 1000 yards with The Houston Oilers.

    I remember being at the MSU vs. Mississippi game in Jackson, Wayne Jones's senior year. A massive brawl broke loose, with both sidelines rushing to the field for the fight. Wayne Jones was the only player dumb enough to rush into the fight without his helmet on, and he paid!

    David Fair. Most talented back ever. Shame the dead Indian tripped him on the sideline.

    Norwood single handedly beat Florida in a game of tackle the man with the football. That was possibly the best game of any RB ever. There are other huge games too though. Boobie had some (UK, Houston come to mind). Nick Turner vs UT.
