lca408 366 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 If Wallace and Marshall are both working with 1st team running backs, and the backup usually goes out to hold kicks (Wallace) then that means...? Marshall? Possibly. I think three practices is to short a period of time for the coaches to decide on NM. I agree. But it definitely looks like they WANT him to be the starter. As long as he can learn the playbook, it looks like its his job to lose. Could be. I bet that changes a bit tomorrow or the next day but if Wallace and Marshall are consistently practicing with the ones, its game over for the other guys. And along those lines, if it's already whittled down to Marshall and Wallace, the race will probably be settled by next week. But I doubt they're closing the door on Kiehl and Jeremy just yet.

Altima 200 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Correct analysis? If Wallace & Marshall are working with first-team RBs, it's likely going to come down to whether Marshall gets a full grasp of the offense.@CollegeandMag I'm sorry, but if we don't have a QB on the roster that can beat out Wallace... then we should prepare ourselves for a long season.

DyeHardAllTheWay 0 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm LOVING the increased size of our guys. Seems like towards the end of the Tubs era and all throughout the Chizik era, our guys always looked inferior athletically. Whatever Coach Russell is doing appears to be working.

logan adams 333 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Remember the LSU game 2 seasons ago where our players got demolished on kickoffs? I want us to be that team that punishes opponents. With this size, hopefully we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO. Got to disagree. I've seen some pretty good Auburn teams over the years with journeyman style QB's. Wallace was put in charge of a train-wreck offense, on a train-wreck team under a train-wreck coach as a true freshman. I think it's fair to wait and see if he prospers under different circumstances.
