For years, the running backs at LSU were as integral to the culture of the Bayou as the crawfish themselves: heroes such as Billy Cannon, Charles Alexander, Joseph Addai or Kevin Faulk were names we grew up enshrining…and they may as well have been quarterbacks to us, anyway.

Up until Joe Burrow came on campus, LSU had always been a running team…that’s what we did.
