College

[edit]

In 1995, Tyler, a native of New Orleans, Louisiana, went to Louisiana State University (LSU) Late in his freshman season, Tyler replaced injured senior Jamie Howard to become LSU's starting quarterback. Over Tyler's next 31 games as a starter, LSU went 26–5, including a #12 ranking in the 1996 final AP Poll and a #13 ranking in the 1997 final AP Poll (it was the first time LSU had finished in the final AP Poll since 1988).

Major victories during that time included unranked LSU's 28–0 victory over #14 Arkansas in 1995 (televised by ABC), #21 LSU's 19–15 victory at #14 Auburn in 1996 (televised by ESPN), and, most notably, #14 LSU's 28–21 victory over #1 Florida in 1997 (televised by ESPN).

In the victory over #1 Florida, Tyler ran for two touchdowns off the option play, including one for 40 yards and one for 11 yards. However, during Tyler's last 7 games as a starter, LSU went 1–6. In his last game as a starter, at #10 Notre Dame, Tyler suffered a hamstring injury. Because of that, he was not able to start in the last game of his senior year at #13 Arkansas.

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
