By Lars Anderson

PINEVIEW, Ga. -- It was late in May when her boy finally came home to Pineview, a dusty speck of a town in rural Georgia best known for its roadside peanut market. He opened the door to his family's three-bedroom house on Commerce Street West, and the first thing Nick Marshall wanted to do was to wrap his arms around his mom, his best friend. Over the previous four months they had talked over the phone several times a week about Auburn's 2013 season, about Marshall coming oh so close to leading the Tigers to the national championship in January against Florida State before falling 34-31. In the spring she quizzed him on what he was doing to become a better passer -- "I know you can throw the ball, Nick," she'd tell him, "you just got to get your timing down better" -- but the two hadn't seen each other much since that winter night in Pasadena. So now Nick, who is so connected to his mother that he can usually hear her screaming voice even when she's in a crowd of 80,000, strode through the front door searching for an embrace.

And the author is an instructor of journalism at Bama. I know writing that excellent article must have hurt, and caused bricks to be thrown through his windows.

"The Marshall Plan" I like a lot and I'm buying because I believe in this young man. I have to admit I was skeptical some last year but I BELIEVE in him now 100%!

Sure, it gets tiresome, the jokes about Auburn getting "criminal" castoffs, but if Cam Newton and Nick Marshall aren't proof that everyone deserves a second chance, some people just can't be convinced.

Great article!

"The Marshall Plan" is such a perfect label, I'm surprised nobody picked up on it during the season. For those of you who are history-challenged, The Marshall Plan was name given to the govt program for rebuilding Europe after WW2. Given the rebuilding of the Auburn program and the rebuilding of his own life and career, it is a fitting moniker.

Excellent point. Thanks for pointing that out.
