Ann Arbor, Mich. | Nov. 23, 1991
Desmond Howard's 93-yard punt return for a touchdown against Ohio State in 1991. When Howard reached the end zone, he struck a Heisman pose. Innocent prank? Yes, but it also signaled a new era in the marketing of the sport's top individual award. Like politics, the Heisman became all about TV exposure---ESPN

I participate in the countdown to showcase my favorite all-time players and/or players currently on my favorite team. My thoughts on the upcoming NCAA title don't determine my participation.

The Tigers' winning streak reached 19 games in 1959, capped by the most famous play [above] in LSU history. Cannon dodged seven tacklers for an 89-yard touchdown run, which gave LSU a 7-3 victory, became immortalized as the "Halloween Run" and probably clinched his Heisman Trophy, the only one ever won by an LSU player. "Every Halloween before the LSU game, they played it over and over. I wonder if they still do that?
The "Halloween Run" marked the high-water mark for LSU football for 45 years. The next week, the Tigers lost 14-13 to Tennessee and fell from No. 1 in the rankings. They would not return to the top spot in the polls until 2007.

The rowdy Cannon............who had many brushes with the law throughout his college days had one final "big one" in 1983. Cannon, then 45, pleaded guilty to participating in a counterfeiting scam that ranks among the biggest ever uncovered in the U.S.—at least $6 million in $100 bills. He was sentenced to 5 years in prison, but was released after 3 years. He currently works as the resident dentist at the maximum security Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, La.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find much for him, but he's one of ND's greatest defensive backs.

#18 CB - Guyton Galdeira
5'7", 163 lbs

Every home game i went to while he was on the team, before every kickoff, he would be jumping up and down getting all excited. It was very entertaining. He's a cocky little thing.

#17 QB Bobby Dodd - Tennessee - [1928-1930]
He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as a player.
Robert Lee "Bobby" Dodd was a winner all the way. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as a player in 1959, as a coach in 1993. Dodd was Tennessee's quarterback from 1928-30, a smart game-breaker who always had the winning play. Against Florida in 1930 he got his teammates in a huddle and told them about a play he had used in high school. When the ball was snapped, it was placed on the ground unattended. The players ran in one direction. Then the center returned, picked up the ball, and waltzed to the winning touchdown.

Robert Lee "Bobby" Dodd was a winner all the way. In high school in Kingsport, Tennessee, he starred
in football, basketball and baseball. He tried tennis and won the city championship.
He took up contract bridge; he and his partner won the city tournament.

Bobby "In Dodd We Trust" Dodd - Head Coach, Georgia Tech [1945-1966]
He was also elected to the College Football Hall of Fame as coach.
His coaching record was 165-64-8. In the seasons 1946 through 1956,
