RunInRed 16,370 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 HC Gus Malzahn Malzahn is now here. Starts off by mentioning Arkansas' offense returning seven starters, including RBs Alex Collins/Jonathan Williams... Malzahn: "Jeremy Johnson will start. Nick Marshall will play. I'm not ready to say how much, but he'll play." ... Malzahn: "Nick has handled himself very well during fall camp. ... He's ready to go when called upon." ... Malzahn: "Josh Holsey will start in place of Jonathon Mincy." ... Malzahn has no update on Star Robenson Therezie's status. ... Gus Malzahn said LB Anthony Swain has "big-game experience" and the coaching staff was pleased how he responded during fall camp. @wareagleextra Malzahn: "we don't know" if it'll stretch multiple games with Therezie... Malzahn: "first games, special teams are usually a factor one way or the other." @JamesCrepea Malzahn on Robenson Therezie: "We just didn't feel like we needed to put him on (the depth chart) until (his eligibility issue's) resolved."... Malzahn wouldn't say if the game could factor into when Marshall enters the game: "We have a plan and they know the plan." ... Malzahn on when he notified Johnson he was going to start: "Jeremy's known that for awhile." Johnson said he didn't know 2 weeks ago. ... Malzahn on fr. Tre' Williams & Stephen Roberts: "Both those guys have earned this way to get that spot & we think both them have a chance." ... Malzahn on senior RBs Corey Grant & Cam Artis-Payne: "We have confidence in both those guys to run our entire offense. … They're 1 and 1A." @AUBlog Gus Malzahn says Roc Thomas and Peyton Barber each have a chance to be No. 3 running back behind Corey Grant and Cameron Artis-Payne... Gus Malzahn on comeback Shon Coleman making Auburn's starting lineup: "You root for a guy like that." ...and "He's a football player." @AUGoldMine Malzahn on Jeremy Johnson: We have a lot of confidence in him to run our entire offense.

RunInRed 16,370 Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 DT Jeff Whitaker is in the house ... Senior DL Jeff Whitaker now here. "It was devastating to go down in back-to-back seasons and miss all of last year."@wareagleextra Whitaker: "I was passing out water on the sideline, I'm glad I don't have to do that again"...

It's a miracle. I'm proud of him.@AUGoldMine OG Chad Slade met the media as well ... Slade: "We have confidence in both our quarterbacks."@JamesCrepea Slade on Jeff Whitaker: "I tell him you gotta stop playin or you're gonna break some bones, you're so old."... Slade says #Auburn has the potential to be one of the best lines in the SEC. @melissaykim OT Shon Coleman ... Coleman said he's excited about being a starter for the first time on Saturday... Coleman says he's watched a lot of film on Trey Flowers to get ready for the matchup on Saturday. ...

Just have a good time out there. Have fun and play hard."@jzenor Shon Coleman's voice is so low that is could shatter glass.

I can do that."... Cameron Artis-Payne on Malzahn's "plan" for QBs: "I have no idea what the plan is. They know it, I don't know it." @JamesCrepea Cameron Artis-Payne said he's confident in the offense and feels like they can do some good things again@ITATJason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarEagle1983 2,185 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm glad that Gus is not revealing when and how much Nick will play. That tells me: If JJ struggles we'll see Nick earlier than expected. If JJ does well...we probably will not see Nick until the 2nd half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFDTiger80 790 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I hope JJ show up big time on Saturday. It will be great for him and AU to get that confidence for more PT this year and then for him to potentially take over next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shift 350 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I'm glad that Gus is not revealing when and how much Nick will play. That tells me: If JJ struggles we'll see Nick earlier than expected. If JJ does well...we probably will not see Nick until the 2nd half. Fine by me. I have said it multiple times but I am fine with not knowing. I don't know why everyone (read: the media) thinks they deserve to know the plan for Marshall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdgeneration 6,469 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Thanks, RIR. I am getting nervous, not because I don't believe we're going to do well, but mostly because last year we didn't have all these expectations of an awesome year. Now we do. I am going to try and focus on one win at a time! By the way, some of those questions were just plain stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
