He had a great college career at LSU as well. Was in the same backfield with Cecil "the Diesel" Collins. That was back in like 10th grade when almost everyone in high school bet football and I tried to follow it in the winter. I'd probably only see 7 or 8 classmates tops weasel their way into The Downs at Erie on the weekends .. but almost everyone bet football.
I remember Faulk playing a huge role in LSU knocking off the #1 Gators in a night game at Death Valley. They were something like 24 point dogs at home and won outright. I wore a lot of LSU gear to school just to be different - .. I think they lost 7-6 to Vandy the very next week after knocking off #1. That football program has improved about as sharply as Nebraska's has regressed.
