QBs Give Poor Performance in Scrimmage
TJ is carted off after injuring his knee.
It's hard to name the best quarterback on the field with this bunch. Brandon Cox who ran the first team looked below average, throwing at least 2 interceptions. Blake Field also threw an interception to Steve Gandy who returned it for a touchdown. Field threw his body at Gandy before he pounded into the endzone. Booker didn't throw an interception that I saw, and he appeared to run the offense a little better, but still wasn't better than average. Brandon Cox continues to make stupid mistakes throwing the ball. He reminded me a lot of Daniel Cobb today.
Tommy Jackson hurt his left knee on one of the first plays from scrimmage. He walked to the sidelines with help before being carted off the field. Josh Thompson also hurt his knee a couple of series later, but it didn't appear to be very serious. This gave Nathan Farrow a chance to play, and he looked good. People may want to keep an eye on this walk-on.
Marquies Gunn picked the wrong day to rest his hands on his hips as Coach Terry Price lit a fire under his ass. The whole field got quiet during the butt-chewing.
Jason Campbell was also at practice. When I asked him about Tuberville's comments this week on ESPN, he agreed that the three Auburn had in the backfield last year made the best backfield in college football in the last 50 years.
