Game of My Life: LSU Memorable Moments of Tigers Football

by Marty Mulé

A continuing and on-going drama, LSU football is a string of improbable victories and sometimes valiant defeats, and within Game Of My LSU Tigers the players responsible for perpetual story lift the curtain on their greatest acts. Here are the accounts of almost three dozen of the most remembered Tiger games of the last eight decades, as seen through the eyes?and from the memories?of some of LSU's most remembered athletes. Award-winning author and Louisiana-native Marty Mul? takes you from the jumpy Ken Kavanaugh, a decorated bomber pilot who, in 1939, was nervous on his first plane ride en route to his four-touchdown day against Eastern-power Holy Cross; to the backdrop of Hurricane Katrina and JaMarcus Russell's last-gasp, game-winning touchdown pass against Arizona State for the displaced Bayou Bengals. In between, you hear from Billy Cannon as he decided to break a team rule and return a deep punt against Ole Miss.
