I forgot Nall actually won the job

from wiki

quote:

In 1999, Nall had to battle Josh Booty and Rohan Davey for the quarterback position. Nall was named the starter for the season opener but was benched at halftime with LSU leading. He was sacked once for 8 yards and he threw two interceptions in 15 attempts (completing 6 of 15 for 79 yards). Nall made only one other brief appearance at quarterback for LSU in 1999 as he got some late mopup duty the next week. Nall did not play quarterback for the rest of the season.


Ouch at the bolded.

Didn't they move him to WR at some point because of injuries?

If I remember correctly that was the season LSU had to convert RB's to wr's because as good a recruiter as DiNardo was, the roster was imbalanced and lacked receivers. Booty, Davey and Nall played in the game. All threw to invisible receivers.
