In honor of tonight's unofficial kickoff to the season with LSU at Mississippi State (among other games), here's the most famous picture in LSU history. Although the 1958 team, including the high-profile Chinese Bandits, went 11-0 to win the national championship, Billy Cannon’s 89-yard punt return against Ole Miss is considered one of the greatest plays in college football history and might have secured his Heisman Trophy. Incidentally, Syracuse won the national title that year. Photo courtesy of Louisiana State University.
