And Craig Nall won it. That was a total shock and he didn’t last long as a starter. That was the last time there was a true 3 way battle that I can remember.

Booty was all-SEC, Nall was an NFL backup for a long time, and Rohan is one of the better QBs we’ve had. Really good QB room

Rohan is a top 5 LSU QB imo for what he meant to LSU at the time.

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?

Spring 2018 there was a true battle between McMillan, Brennan, and Narcisse. Burrow didn't transfer until later in the year.

Wasn't he the starter in that disastrous 41-7 blow-out to Auburn in '99?

I was a student at that time. The Revielle was fun to read back then.

I think it was either San Jose st. or north Texas but Nall over threw an wide open receiver in the north end zone and the boos just started to rain down.

Even as a kid back then I felt bad for him. Glad he was able to have a career in nfl.

Then somehow they figured out RO wasn't a practice guy but would light it up in game.
