For the second time in three seasons, Auburn football is setting up for another quarterback battle.

A history of injuries reared its head, as he missed a month of this season with a shoulder injury. That opened up an opportunity for Texas A&M’s Marcel Reed to move in on the starting role.
Now, after playing in 15 games and making 13 starts through three seasons in College
