IRVING, Texas (Oct. 18, 2022) – LSU and The National Football Foundation (NFF) & College Hall of Fame announced today that they will jointly honor 2022 College Football Hall of Fame electee Kevin Faulk with an NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute, presented by Fidelity Investments®. The Salute will take place this Saturday, Oct. 22, during the Tigers' home football game against Ole Miss. The game will kick off at 3:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
 
"All praise goes to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ," Faulk said in an LSU press release. "This is an honor that wouldn't be possible without my great teammates, coaches and everyone who helped me along the way. It's a tremendous honor, but for me it was a team effort. I'm so humbled and honored to be included among the great list of players and coaches in the Hall of Fame Class for 2022."
 
The NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salute program, which began with the inaugural College Football Hall of Fame Class in 1951, has become a hallowed tradition, and to this day the singular events remain the first of numerous activities in the Hall of Fame experience.
 
During the NFF Hall of Fame On-Campus Salutes, each electee returns to his respective school to accept a Hall of Fame plaque that will stay on permanent display at the institution. The events take place on the field during a home game, and many Hall of Famers cite the experience as the ultimate capstone to their careers, providing them one more chance to take the field and be recognized in front of their home crowd.
 
The 2022 College Football Hall of Fame Class will be officially inducted during the 64th NFF Annual Awards Dinner Presented by Las Vegas on Dec. 6 at Bellagio Resort & Casino in Las Vegas. Click here for more information on the Awards Dinner, including options to purchase tickets online, special travel rates to the event from Delta Air Lines and Bellagio and a concierge service provided by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority.
 

"Kevin Faulk is the epitome of an all-purpose player, still holding the title as LSU's all-time leading rusher and the SEC's leader in career all-purpose yards," said NFF President & CEO Steve Hatchell. "We are thrilled to honor him in Death Valley for his upcoming College Football Hall of Fame induction."
 
A 1996 First Team All-American as an all-purpose player, Faulk still holds the all-time SEC record with 6,833 all-purpose yards, a mark that was fourth in FBS history when he finished his career. During that 1996 season, he led the SEC in all-purpose yards and ranked second in the league in rushing.
 
Faulk followed up his All-America campaign by leading the SEC in rushing during both his junior and senior seasons, and he also topped the league in scoring as a senior. The three-time First Team All-SEC selection was the first player in LSU history to average more than 100 yards per game during his entire career.
 
Setting 11 school records by career's end, Faulk still holds LSU career marks for rushing yards (4,577), rushing touchdowns (46), all-purpose yards (6,833) and 100-yard rushing games (22). The 1995 SEC Freshman of the Year ranks fourth in the conference in career rushing yards and is tied for third in career rushing touchdowns.
 
A two-time LSU MVP, Faulk led the Tigers to two top-15 final rankings and three bowl victories, earning offensive MVP honors following the 1995 Independence Bowl after setting LSU bowl records with 234 rushing yards and 271 all-purpose yards. Faulk owns LSU's single-game all-purpose yards record (376 vs. Houston, 1996), and ranks fifth in school history with 832 punt return yards.
 
He is also a member of the LSU Athletics and State of Louisiana Sports halls of fame.

I moved to Houston in 1987 and there was not much news about LSU.  On Sunday AM I would read the sports section, a 3 inch long write up on the game.  Under Mike Archer and Curly Hallman, I didn't seem to miss much.  There was usually one game a year of LSU on TV.  I was busy with work and young family, so I didn't miss it much.  When Saban came, we got on TV more, that was good.  I joined my first forum in 2003, it was Brett's forum that I think is now Tigerfan.  Then Greg pulled out and started his forum and most of us joined there.  Then this group broke off and dachsie invited me here.

That's a long way of saying I missed Kevin Faulk at LSU.  I did follow him a bit with the Patriots.

I honestly don't know what to expect from this game. If the offense of last week shows up and the defense from the Auburn game shows up, it could be a long day for Ole Miss.

On the other hand, if our offense and/or defense from the Tennessee game shows up it will be a long day for us.

It could also be in between those endpoints and wind up being an extremely close and hard fought battle. I think this is the highest probability and am hoping for a great, classic, close battle.

Ole Miss has been running over opponents so our tackling needs to be better than it usually has been. Stopping the run and forcing Dart to beat us through the air will be key in my opinion.

[houtiger]

I think we have a shot at the win.  Ole Miss schedule has not been as hard as LSU, so we don't really know what they have.  Is Ky. their best win?  Are they about the level of Florida?

I had a thought driving back from Walmart today, dangerous, I know.  I was thinking about Kelly's comments about Daniels building trust with the receivers.  Look, Boutte was a mess at the beginning of the season, so was Jayden.  Last game, Daniels is throwing the ball before the receiver makes his break.  That requires that the QB trusts that he and the receiver are on the same page, and the receiver WILL make his break on time, whether he is going to come back to the QB, or go out to the sideline, whatever.  I wonder to what extent Boutte, Nabers, and Brian Thomas are teaching Daniels how to be a better QB, because he can trust them.

Kiffin is not a gifted speaker, I'd rather listen to BK.  But Lane is an innovative offensive mind, not constrained to doing things the way they always have..

I'll begrudgingly admit that Lane is a good coach, but there is nothing offensively he does that hasn't been done many times before so I have a hard time calling him innovative.  To me, his gift is being able to instantly analyze down, distance, situation, and defensive scheme and be able to call a play that - more times than not - will succeed in that moment.

Here are a few prospects who are set to take in Tiger Stadium for Saturday’s game against Ole Miss:

Daylen Austin - Cornerback - 2023 Commit

Austin, a Long Beach, Calif. native, is fresh off of a visit to Oregon, taking in the atmosphere while remaining committed to the Tigers. The shutdown cornerback has taken his senior year by storm with many preparing to see his ranking continue rising before it’s all said and done.

Austin has been a hot name on the recruitment trail, taking his fair share of visits across the country as Early National Signing Day approaches. Depth in the secondary is of the utmost importance when it comes to this 2023 recruiting class, which makes Austin’s commitment that much more valuable.

"I knew they wanted me and when I got up there I felt the vibe," he recalled of his first visit to Baton Rouge. "Just the history behind LSU, the culture and everything. They already got the name 'DBU.’ Even though Corey Raymond still left they're still gonna be on a pedestal. I already pictured myself playing in the SEC."

Trey Holly - Running Back - 2023 Commit

Holly is another monster recruit in this 2023 class. The No. 2 running back in Louisiana, Holly is also a 4-star recruit who committed to LSU back in May. The 5-foot-8, 180-pound running back held offers from Arkansas, Auburn, Florida State, Ole Miss, Oregon, and many others.

Holly has been on a tear throughout his high school career, playing up on varsity as an eighth grader. He rushed for 2,633 yards on 296 carries and 33 touchdowns in his junior campaign with 75 touchdowns total in his first four years on varsity.

Holly and Kaleb Jackson will make for quite the duo in the foreseeable future if all things go accordingly. With current LSU running backs John Emery and Noah Cain draft eligible following the 2022 season, the two LSU pledges could see early playing time, though Cain is likely to stick around.

 

Tayvion Galloway - Tight End - 2024 Commit

The 2024 prospect is a Top 10 tight end in the country, but the rankings don’t mean much to him, it’s about his overall team’s success. Galloway’s mission is to win ball games for his school, which prompted him to shut down his recruitment and commit to the Tigers before his junior season.

“I knew early on in my recruitment that connections and relationships I built would be a big thing in my recruitment,” Galloway said prior to his visit. “Before Coach [Mike] Denbrock and Coach [Brian] Kelly went to LSU, I had prior connections with them at their previous jobs. Coach Denbrock was a real genuine guy. He showed me that he’s real and will do a lot to get me.”

Galloway will be in town this weekend for the LSU-Ole Miss matchup as he takes in his first game day experience in Death Valley. Though he has been to campus for visits three times, he’s eager to get the chance to take in the atmosphere Baton Rouge has for game days.

Xavier Atkins - Linebacker - 2024 Commit

Standing at 6-foot, 200-pounds, Atkins has great size for the linebacker position given he just entered his junior year of high school. With tremendous strength and technique, it’ll be exciting to monitor his growth as he continues developing before heading to Baton Rouge in 2024.

Totaling 218 tackles – 28.0 for loss – and eight sacks in 13 games as a sophomore, Atkins proved he has all the intangibles to compete in the SEC.
 

Atkins is also a very vocal guy. He’s already spoken with a number of other 2024 prospects and will be a huge piece in making that class great. The LSU commit took to Twitter to voice his opinion on the future of this program.

Other prospects in town:

Jeremiah Hughes - 2023 Commit and 4-star CB

Ryan Yaites - 2023 Commit and 4-star CB

Da'Shawn Womack - 2023 Commit and 4-star EDGE

BATON ROUGE – A trio of LSU players earned Southeastern Conference Player of the Week honors for their performance in Saturday’s 45-20 win over No. 7 and previously undefeated Ole Miss in Tiger Stadium, the league office announced on Monday.

Quarterback Jayden Daniels picked up SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors, while defensive tackle Mekhi Wingo was named the league’s defensive lineman of the week and linebacker Harold Perkins Jr. earned freshman of the week.

Daniels served as the catalyst for the LSU offense, accounting for five touchdowns (3 rushing, 2 passing) as the Tigers racked up 45 points, 35 first downs and 500 total yards in the comeback win over Ole Miss. Daniels completed 21-of-28 passes for 248 yards and added 121 rushing yards

He became the first quarterback in LSU history to rush for 100 yards and pass for 200 yards in the same game twice in one season. He scored on runs of 3, 11, and 17 yards and tossed TD passes of 34 yards and 1-yard. Daniels also set the LSU single-season record for rushing touchdowns (9) and rushing yards by a quarterback (524).

Down 17-3 early in second quarter, LSU outscored Ole Miss, 42-3, for the remainder of the game, including 28-0 in the second half. After a punt on the first possession of second half, LSU scored TDs on its final four possessions of game.

Wingo, a sophomore, recorded seven tackles along with 1.5 sacks totaling 18 yards in losses. He also forced a fumble, batted down two passes and added a quarterback hurry as the Tigers limited the Rebels to a season-low 116 rushing yards.

Perkins, a true freshman, played key role in LSU defense shutting down Ole Miss in the second half of the 45-20 win. LSU’s defense held Ole Miss scoreless for the final 44 minute of the contest and allowed just 137 total yards to the Rebels in the second half. Perkins finished with five tackles, a sack for a 6-yard loss, a pass breakup a two QB hurries.
