Coach Gus Malzahn met the press Saturday afternoon after Auburn’s third scrimmage of the spring. He made the usual statements ie. “Our energy was very good;” the defense, “is starting to gel;” and a player or two has, “caught my eye.”
However, of more interest is what he had to say about newcomer, quarterback John Franklin III. He and Redshirt freshman Tyler Queen were the only two QB’s to go live against the defense. Veterans Sean White and Jeremy Johnson practiced but were held out contact scrimmages.
