Football. 'Keep fighting no matter what' - Jeff's Journal on Marlon Davidson's dash

AUBURN, Ala. - If you line up the slowest running back in the SEC next to the league’s fastest defensive lineman for a 100-yard dash, the running back is going to win. Every single time.

It’s just the nature of their positions.

Marlon Davidson agrees with this hypothesis, to a degree.

“True,” says the first Auburn freshman to start on the defensive line in at least 30 years. “But, hey man, some D-linemen are different.”

Confidence and the brashness that comes with being young and gifted explains only partially the remarkable effort Davidson demonstrated against Texas A&M.
