NOTE: that the number 18 is passed down to the senior that best represents the LSU fighting tiger spirit. It's started with Matt Mauck and has gone to guys like Jacob Hester, Richard Dickson, and is now with Richard Murphy.

Good catch, I think a lot of people don't realize it is back on the list. Although, his son wasn't the only player to wear it after it was retired. Although he was the first, many players have warn it since. The most notable who also wore it recently, Josh Bullocks, Marlon Lucky (who changed to #5 his Jr year cuz he thought it made him look faster), Michael Booker, It was just recently re-added to the retired number list after the 2008 season.

You are currect in the fact that it is now permanetely retired. Only 3 numbers are retired at Nebraska, 60 (Novak), 64 (Brown) and now once again Rodgers (20). There are 17 jersey's retired.

lol not to drag this one back up seems there isn't much activity in this thread lately but how could i forget good old Marlon Lucky, Josh Bullocks and Michael Booker for that matter... i remember watching the Army All-Star game when Lucky was a Senior in HS and saying to myself this kid is gonna be great... shortly after i watched him do a front flip into the end zone and drop the football on the 1 yard line turning it over the the other team...

Yah I think Lucky came in overrated, but think Callahan's inability to develop players made him worse than he could have been. But the Reggie Bush comparisons he got at one time were way off.

The only number recently reissued was 20 to Darnell Bing, he received permission from USC AD Mike Garrett to use the number because this was also Bing's high school number.

To add to this post, honored #'s are #1 and #55. 1 is reserved for a stud WR while 55 is for LB's
