All three of Auburn’s quarterbacks get first-team reps in first fall scrimmage
Published:
Despite making comments that would indicate the Auburn quarterback derby could be nearing an end, Tigers head coach Gus Malzahn met with the media Tuesday following the team’s first fall scrimmage and announced the race was still status quo.
Malzahn refused to go into much detail but said all three quarterbacks were rotated with the first and second teams during the scrimmage. Look for all three to be given the same opportunity this weekend when Auburn scrimmages for the second time this fall.
