Auburn football: Fans want to see TJ Finley as official QB1

Although we Auburn football fans thought that this was the year for Bo Nix, it seems that his time in the limelight may have come to an early end. Most people were encouraged by the third-year starter’s performance in Penn State’s Happy Valley, but today Nix played a completely different game.

In the first half of the Georgia State matchup, Nix completed 13 of 27 passes for 156 yards and had two rushing attempts for zero yards. He scored zero touchdowns and was sacked once before TJ Finley entered the game after halftime.

After the game, Bryan Harsin explained that he tried everything before finally benching Nix and putting Finley in to play:

Boy did the momentum change. Auburn football began the second half down by 12, and Finley led the Tigers to a last-minute victory. Finley passed 9-16 for 97 yards and one touchdown in addition to 15 rushing yards on three attempts.

Finley’s performance has granted him the good favor of Tiger fans, and they are ready to see a new quarterback take over for Auburn football:

It’s too soon to say whether or not Bryan Harsin will make an official depth chart change, but TJ Finley definitely has the Auburn football fans in his corner.
