RunInRed 16,360 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Coach Gus Malzahn: "Jeremy Johnson will start. Nick Marshall will play. I'm not ready to say how much, but he'll play. ... Nick has handled himself very well during fall camp. ... He's ready to go when called upon." Your prediction? ... Edit via @StatTiger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FHeal 4 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 3 quarters - if we're head at the half. No need to rob a win from the team... not for one guy's boneheaded move, The louder the don't step out of line again message the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUloggerhead 2,225 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 What does it matter? Gus said both QBs will play. I'm curious to see how well JJ does against a conference opponent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoALtiger 3,849 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I'm thinking Nick comes in to start the second drive. Heisman campaign begins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autig90 67 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Quarter. I love how Gus has handled this. Don't give them any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,267 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I picked 1st quarter, but would not be surprised if it was the first drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Eye 7 2,535 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Pardon my rant but there is no suspension, that I have heard Gus mention. This part of Nick's punishment is " He will not start" end of story. There is an honor to officially start, for the players. You have heard coaches say a player has earned the right to start. In this case Nick lost that honor. If he enters the second play he still has lost the honor. Had Gus suspended them, then there could be a debate about it, but they did nothing to be suspended for according to the rules. Let the biased media play this angle not us.

AUStew87 326 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think a quarter. However I wouldn't mind AU bringing Marshall in to start the 2nd half after Arky has made their halftime adjustments for JJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUWALT 10 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 The longer JJ stays in means he is doing a good job and is great experience for him. I would like for JJ to play the first half and Auburn be ahead by 14. Then NM play the second half and we win by at least 28 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuTiger_1998 2 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I have heard, third or fourth hand from a player, it may only he for one play. Take it for what it is worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like for JJ to play the first half and Auburn be ahead by 14. Then NM play the second half and we win by at least 28 points. I think JJ gets the first half with a decent balance of run/pass and a decent lead (14 or more points) then NM gets the second half with decent run/pass balance. Maybe more run for NM to not show his improved passing to save that for KSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auburnfan91 1,407 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think Marshall will only sit out the first drive. I'll be surprised if he sits the whole first half. I think Gus is probably using this more as a strategic move than a real "punishment". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strategy by way of keeping Arkansas guessing on how the game is going to play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeriderga 134 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I said quarter, but I believe it really depends upon how well Johnson is playing. If Johnson does well, expect it to be a quarter. If not, could be earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
