Is Jarrett Stidham gaining momentum in Auburn QB competition?

AUBURN, Alabama -- To his credit, Gus Malzahn is still trying to convince everybody that there is a quarterback competition taking place at Auburn this spring.

After Saturday’s scrimmage, Malzahn talked up the two freshmen -- Woody Barrett and Malik Willis -- who went live and showed off their athleticism. Sean White is still recovering from a broken arm, but he’s progressing well. Plus, Malzahn mentioned that new offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey has been impressed with White’s retention ability.

That’s all fine, but does anybody actually believe that Jarrett Stidham won’t be the starting quarterback when the Tigers take the field against Georgia Southern in the season opener?
