No one is more surprised at Jeremy Johnson’s lack of success than his predecessor.
Former Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall thought Johnson would thrive under center after spending two years as the program’s backup.
Marshall’s heir apparent lost his hold on the starting job three games into the 2015 season following a 1-2 start and seven turnovers.
“I ain’t going to say he took a step back, but a little bit,” Marshall said choosing his words carefully.
Marshall was in Auburn Sunday afternoon hosting a youth football camp at the Wire Road Sports Complex. The quarterback turned defensive back spent four hours working with campers, but took a short break to talk with the Ledger-Enquirer.
