We're definitely big fans of Jason Dufner."... Malzahn asked if any freshmen can play first game: "There's quite a few of them who we feel have a good chance." That was helpful. ...

Parkey on freshman Daniel Carlson: "He's built like a punter, who's kicking. He's better than I was my freshman year." ... Parkey on Jason Dufner's visit: "He told us his story, kind of how he was a walk-on. He's an incredible golfer, a true #Auburn man." @AUBlog senior K Cody Parkey has worked on his accuracy from 40-50 yards out, said he feels comfortable entering the season.@JHokanson Cody Parkey says that QB Jon Wallace is a "work in progress" as a holder.@awpenny247 Jason Dufner and I with his PGA Major Trophy https://www.facebook.com/cody.parkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeBoneAU 89 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Hopefully after saturday scrimmage the starting lineup will be ironed out and they can start to gel as a unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bootskii 264 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Sounds like Malzahn is tight lipped on everything but I can understand his reasoning. At least he lets us know when players are performing up to his standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cammycam2 173 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Im glad he at least said "any time before Monday" on the Qb battle. Heck at least the guessing game has its limits now. Haha. WDE everybody! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunInRed 16,528 Posted August 15, 2013 Author Share Posted August 15, 2013 Steven Clark. He hates the rain, because he always hits the rafters in the indoor. @byjustinlee Steven Clark on Jason Dufner: "I have so much respect for him. I've been playing golf longer than I've been punting, and I suck at it."... Clark: "If I can ever win the PGA Championship of punting, it would be the happiest day of my life too." ... Clark informed Parkey posed w/ Jason Dufner and Wanamaker trophy, asked if he did. Face lit up, said he hadn't. Thought he was gonna leave. @AUBlog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBlueVue 177 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Gus has his QB. He could be named "as early as tomorrow"...doesn't sound like a guy that is still searching for an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah511 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Gus has his QB. He could be named "as early as tomorrow"...doesn't sound like a guy that is still searching for an answer. Sounds like he is dotting his i's and crossing his t's. leads me to believe its going to be Marshall. Can't wait. Maybe we'll be able to see some video of the starter in action from Saturdays scrimmage? Maybe? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gravejd 3,272 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Agreed...i think this weeks competition is seeing if they need to redshirt Johnson or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bg5 536 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 I believe it is Marshall as well but I think it's great that JJ is pushing him. I just have this feeling that they both turned out to be really good. I say that because to me it didn't seem to take long to rule the existing QB's out.

And that makes perfect sense. We may need him THIS YEAR but if Marshalls gets it done we wont Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
