Auburn is in the midst of a competitive quarterback battle with three primary contenders.
While [autotag]Holden Geriner[/autotag] had a shot at winning the battle, it was going to be tough for a true freshman to win the starting job. That leaves the trio of [autotag]TJ Finley[/autotag], [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag], and [autotag]Zach Calzada[/autotag] as the contenders to be Auburn’s next starting quarterback.
Finley spent last season as Bo Nix’s backup before starting the final three games for an injured Nix. Ashford started his career at Oregon and while a great athlete who is a capable runner, he has yet to see game action. Calzada, who transferred from Texas A&M this summer, played in 12 games for the Aggies last season and is seen by many as the favorite to win the job.
While the battle is still raging, Auburn Wire will take a look at the situational stats from Calzada’s 2021 season. All stats are courtesy of Stats Perform.
