Johnson questionable for Saturday?

[Longtime Lurker]

I just saw where JJ is listed as questionable for Saturday. Of course an Auburn buddy (who wants to see him benched) doubts the source is reliable because he hasn't heard it from any of his "Premium" sources. Does this change anything from our game plan if true? Is this just a way for Gus to bench him?

Also, most AU fans think Lawson is not playing Saturday, and may be done for the season.

Johnson is and has always been their best option at QB. I can't imagine how it will hurt our chances on the plains. Unless they are hiding a pro-style passer who will burn our secondary.

I haven't heard that either JJ or Lawson are out for this game. That said, if the backup QB plays, he is a redshirt freshman that has never taken a snap in division 1 football.

Queue the R.A.T. posters, I know our history with complete unknowns on the road in SEC games. However, I'll still take our chances against an inexperienced freshman every time.


For fun, here is a link to Auburn's Spring Game stats. The backup was 15 of 19 for 109 yards, a whopping 7 yards per completion. Sounds like a dinker/dunker to me, but we'll see.

No auburn fan I've talked to expects Lawson to play. They've said he may not play this year and maybe never again

Word is Lawson has a broken hip bone and not a flexor.

my boss is a huge auburn fan and he says its bad with lawson. hip fracture and out for season.

Word is Lawson has a broken hip bone and not a flexor.

I've also heard this from auburn fans.

As for Johnson, he's not hurt but they are ready to see the back up. The backup is a small immobile redshirt freshman. I was told he was like Drew Brees, from a style standpoint not necessarily talent.

The thing about bringing in a back-up.....

Johnson is and has always been their best option at QB. I can't imagine how it will hurt our chances on the plains. Unless they are hiding a pro-style passer who will burn our secondary.

Who knows what kind of bump it might give a team with some pretty talented players. I still remember the Steve Tannehill game at USC in 92. Freshman QB inserted into lineup in about game 6 or 7 for a team on like a 14 game losing streak. Lit our 11th ranked asses up and went on to I think win out the rest of the season.

I smell a RAT. Book it.

 

[JungRebel]

Nah. It's about to come unravelled for Auburn. Take MSU on the money line.

 

[DudyDog]

The J Johnson that is listed as questionable is their DT Jaunta'vius Johnson.

 

[Longtime Lurker]

The site may be wrong, but it clearly says QB Jeremy Johnson.

Malzahn and Lashlee made the decision on Sean White this morning.

ESPN saying that Gus has announced Sean White as the starter.

[h=1]MALZAHN BENCHES QB JEREMY JOHNSON[/h]Auburn coach Gus Malzahn announced Tuesday the team would be making a chance at QB from Jeremy Johnson to redshirt freshman Sean White. Johnson had thrown 6 interceptions to just 5 TDs through three games.
