About this listen

 Former LSU quarterback Herb Tyler joins Eddie Kennison for the latest edition of the Geaux2Legends Podcast. Herb Tyler is one of the most successful quarterbacks in LSU history, finishing his career with a record of 27-11, giving him the second most victories by an LSU starting quarterback. Tyler finished his career as the school’s all-time fifth-leading passer with 5,876 yards. He is one of only five quarterbacks in LSU history with more than 5,000 career passing yards. He rushed for 23 touchdowns in his career, which is tops in LSU history among quarterbacks. Herb Tyler took over the role as starting quarterback midway through his freshman season and never relinquished his position. He led LSU to victory in four games in 1995, 10 games his sophomore season, nine his junior year and four his senior year. He ranked 3rd in SEC passing efficiency behind Florida’s Danny Wuerffel and Tennessee’s Peyton Manning as a sophomore and 3rd his junior year behind Kentucky’s Tim Couch and Tennessee’s Tee Martin. When senior quarterback Jamie Howard suffered a shoulder injury midseason of 1995, Tyler was called upon to lead the Tigers offense and led LSU to wins in all four of his starts. Tyler earned a place on the Freshman All-SEC Team and played in 1998 Blue-Gray Classic following his senior season.
