The Quarterback Tale of the Tape
A look at how Max Johnson compares to both quarterbacks for Auburn. Given that Finley played limited snaps against Georgia State, we use his career numbers for comparison.
| Max Johnson | vs | Bo Nix | TJ Finley (Career) |
| 6-5 | Ht | 6-3 | 6-7 |
| 220 | Wt | 214 | 246 |
| Sophomore | Class | Junior | Sophomore |
| 87 | Comp | 63 | 93 |
| 135 | Att | 103 | 163 |
| 64.4 | Comp% | 61.2 | 57.1 |
| 1,143 | Yards | 724 | 1,126 |
| 8.5 | YPA | 7.0 | 6.9 |
| 15 | TDs | 5 | 7 |
| 3 | INTs | 0 | 5 |
Johnson has completed a higher percentage of his passes than the Auburn duo through four games, and he has a higher yard per attempt. This means that he is taking more shots down the field. The Auburn passers have done a better job of protecting the football this year. They have two great running backs to rely on, LSU has to generate offense through the air with the absence of the run game.
