19 receptions vs. Alabama (LSU and SEC single-game record)
293 receiving yards vs. Alabama (LSU and SEC single-game record)
94 receptions (LSU single-season record)

Did you forget Billy Cannon? He was faster, bigger and did more things for the football team.

No love for Eric Martin? But I agree that Josh Reed is probably the right answer.

Great links. Did you notice the shot of Chavis after Reed's 2d TD.... I'd really be laughing my arse off... except he's our DC now.
