We are officially two weeks away from Auburn’s opening game against Mercer and the Tigers completed their second scrimmage of fall Friday.
The Tigers are looking for a quarterback to separate himself from the pack and it sounds like [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag] has done just that. Offensive coordinator [autotag]Eric Kiesau[/autotag] was impressed by Finley’s command of the offense.
“My feel, my gut, just without watching it, just from calling the game, was just T.J had a really good command,” Kiesau said. “He had a lot of precision. He checked some plays for us and got us in the right play, which is good.”
He added that it is still tough to determine a starter out of Finley, [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag], and [autotag]Zach Calzada[/autotag].
“It’s going to be a hard one,” Kiesau. “I can tell you that right now. They’ve all kind of played really well, and we’ve gotta see who’s going to step out in front a little bit after tonight.”
Another interesting development was that Tank Bigsby did not participate, not because of injury but because they wanted the other running backs to get more reps.
