Great Tiger and being a Rams fan, I appreciated him even more.

He made a fantastic fourth-down catch against Ole Miss in 1961, which kept our scoring drive alive.

He was a legend back then. I started going to the LSU games right after he graduated, but I was in Tulane Stadium when his team won the Super Bowl.
RIP Billy Truax. A great Tiger.

Was this a shoestring catch, inches off the ground?
I was a wee small kid in '61, but remember that particular catch.

Really the prototypical tight end in that era…tall and rangey. Years after his playing days were over, I would see him at games.
RIP to a great Tiger !
