Auburn's Quarterback Woes Continue: McPherson Out for Vanderbilt Game
It's been a rough start for Auburn's offense, and it just got tougher. The Tigers are already dealing with injuries to key players, and now they've lost their starting quarterback, Robby Ashford.
Ashford was already battling a shoulder injury and had to miss the last game against Missouri. It seemed like he'd be back this week, but Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze dropped the news on Monday that Ashford will be out for the Vanderbilt game.
This news is a major blow for Auburn. McPherson, a highly-touted recruit, was expected to be a big part of the offense this season. But he's still working his way back from a shoulder injury, and it seems like he'll be sidelined for at least a week.
So, what's next for Auburn? They'll likely be relying on backup quarterback TJ Finley, who has some experience but hasn't shown he can be a consistent starter. It's going to be a real uphill battle for Auburn against Vanderbilt and the rest of their schedule.
I'll be honest, I'm frustrated with how things are going for Auburn. This team has a ton of talent, but injuries and inconsistencies are really holding them back.
We'll have to see how things shake out for Auburn. But one thing's for sure, it's going to be a tough road ahead.
