Not sure if that was intended as a joke or not, but Randall is absolutely one of my favorite Tigers of all time. Dude was the ultimate team player and fought off tons of unfair criticism from fans, coaches, everyone. I always try to defend him anytime his name comes up.

He pretty much had two bad games in 02 against Auburn (rainstorm and mudpit) and Bama (top 5 D in the country that year), and threw that pick on his first pass against Oregon State (another muddy field).

I love the way he came off the bench in that UF game (one of my favorite Tiger games ever), not to mention coming back in after being yanked from the OSU game.

Dude had heart and could straight up run the football. Not the best QB we've had, but sure as hell looked great when Saban and Jimbo used him properly. The SC, UK, Ole Miss, Ark, and UT games in 02 and the UF, Ark, (not to mention the opening drive of the Auburn game in 04 ), and although he threw 3 picks against Troy, he led us back and threw for over 300 yards doing it.

Great Tiger and deserves a lot more respect than he gets.
