Randman5000 4,223 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Nick Marshall Impact Finished his Auburn career with 6425-yards on 861 plays and 57 touchdowns. This includes 532 pass attempts, 326 rush attempts and 3 receptions. During the past two seasons the Auburn offense averaged 493.4 YPG and 37.6 PPG. This includes 501.5 YPG and 36.5 PPG in conference play. The 2013 and 2014 Auburn offenses were No. 2 and No. 3 in school history, generating impact plays or plays of 15-yards or more. Nick Marshall was the starting quarterback of 2 of the top-3 most efficient offenses in school history. Of the 264 impact plays generated the past two seasons, Nick Marshall was directly involved in 143 (54.2%). Nick Marshall was directly involved in 285 combined first downs and touchdowns, which meant that every 3 direct touches of the football by Marshall resulted in an Auburn first down or touchdown. Marshall improved from the No. 33 most efficient passer in the nation during 2013 to No. 15 in 2014. Of Auburn's 2-year starters or more, Nick Marshall is Auburn's second most efficient passer in school history. He also possesses the 2nd highest TD-pass ration and is No. 1 in TD-INT ratio. Marshall finished his career with 102 pass plays of 15-yards or more and 69 runs of 10-yards or more. Marshall has 52 career pass-plays of 25-yards or more and 19 runs of 20-yards or more. From 1992-2014 Auburn faced a total of 190 ranked opponents. During that time span, Nick Marshall holds 6 of the top-15 highest passer ratings, appearing in the top-15 more than any other Auburn quarterback. From 1992-2014 Auburn faced 85 FBS opponents that finished the season, winning at least 70 percent of their games.

Nick Marshall was No. 9 nationally in producing pass-plays of 25-yards or more and No. 13 in pass-plays of 15-yards or more. When Nick Marshall was signed out of Junior College, the concern about Marshall was his high number of interceptions thrown. Marshall finished No. 3 in school history in interception ratio, throwing a pick every 40.9 pass attempts. As gifted as Marshall was as an athlete, I thought his strongest attribute was his ability to keep his emotions in check during the game. Watching him on the sideline, you could not tell if Auburn was winning or losing based on Marshall's demeanor. Even after making a bad play, his performance from that point on never collapsed. He was a raw talent, when he arrived on campus but he certainly grew into his role as the starting quarterback. I wish Marshall had made the final pass attempt in overtime against Wisconsin rather than being a receiver on a trick-play. War Eagle! wow great stats. Love the td impact plays. He really pulled us up when we needed it after that horrible season. He brought us back. I'll cheer for him no matter what. He is an Auburn man and legend. What's his season pass and rush yards?
