It’s been more than 500 days since Jarrett Stidham last played in a stadium full of fans. Saturday’s spring game at Auburn won’t resemble the raucous atmosphere Stidham faced in 2015 as Baylor's quarterback on the road at Oklahoma State -- it’s a glorified scrimmage -- but it’s the closest thing to a game atmosphere the sophomore will see before the season opener.
Stidham is not alone, either. If anything, he has a leg up on the other two quarterbacks who will be vying Saturday for the starting job.
