His brother, Eric Randall, had been a well-known quarterback in the area, leading Southern University to a Black College National Championship in 1995.[ citation needed ] In 2002, Randall became the starting quarterback halfway through the season, after starter Matt Mauck was lost for the year with a broken foot. In 2003, he saw limited action behind Mauck during LSU's run to a BCS National Championship. In 2004, he started the majority of LSU's games, but split time with redshirt freshman JaMarcus Russell. During his career at LSU, Randall threw for 2,845 yards, 18 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also threw the game-winning touchdown against Kentucky in 2002, [1] now known as the "Bluegrass Miracle".[ citation needed ]
