Has anyone ever played the position with such soul?
Watching this dude play was like listening to fine jazz. It was fluid, yet improvisational. He played with such a peace about him. He never got rattled. He always appeared loose, focused, and played every snap like it might be his last. But most of all, he looked like he had fun doing it. He embraced the opportunity so positively and with such gratitude. Every single interview he did before and after games expressed nothing but gratitude for his coaches, his teammates, and the opportunity to be the Auburn quarterback.
Nick Marshall IS the "Auburn Quarterback". Quiet, country, unassuming, but played with a chip on both shoulders.
Nick Marshall was Coach Dye's kind of ball player.
