Highlights Of JaMarcus Russell vs. Mississippi State In 2006 Go Viral

Jamarcus was a great example of why talent alone will not bring you
Success as a player. If you are lazy and not willing to put in the time to be better at your craft, whatever it is, you will not be everything you can be. Jamarcus is a poster child for this. And broke to boot.

He might be the strongest QB I've ever watched play for LSU.

18 of 20 mostly throwing bombs is pretty insane.... on top of the effortless 60yd flicks

If another QB had a stronger arm than him I'd like to see it. Amazing how Jimbo could get a QB to play in college then just completely fall apart in the NFL

He was great at LSU. I really thought he'd have just as good of a NFL career.

The Arizona St. game is the one I remember.

The biggest thing I remember about the Russell era is that I had a racist family member who just did not like when LSU had a black QB. He would criticize every little mistake that Russell made and every ‘Wow’ play was dismissed as “any college QB can do that”.

I wish JaMarcus had played like this in every game. We may very well have won a natty in 2006 if he had done that.

It was absolutely a thing of beauty watching JR go back and throw the football.....such a smooth delivery. And if he got pressure, no problem...he'd just side step them and remained poised.

The WRs were underrated. Dwayne Bowe being 3rd best behind Davis and Doucet lol

Still awesome to watch his highlights. I will still say one of the greatest throws I have ever seen was in the SEC Championship game against Georgia where he rolls and flicks the ball nearly 70 yds on a laser to which Bennie Brazil caught it in the endzone. There was a penalty that wiped out the play but that was one of the most impressive throws I have ever seen.

I remember being in the student section for the play starting at 40 seconds, rolls right and just flicks it 60 yards like it was nothing

Bowe Davis Doucet. The first wide receiver trifect that we had. They started it all.

Barely even looks like he’s trying and the ball comes out like a missile.

The man threw a great ball no doubt

Man, loved how he stepped up in the pocket. Effortless darts. Had all the physical tools to be great in the NFL. Wish him the best.

2006 should have been a Natty. That team was really good. Couldn’t defeat the fake PI in Auburn.
