After Auburn QB Jarrett Stidham struggled again in a 23-9 loss at Mississippi State on Saturday night, fans are getting restless.
In fact, there are even some suggesting that the Tigers make a switch from Stidham to backup QB Malik Willis moving forward.
On Sunday night, Auburn OC Chip Lindsey spoke with reporters, downplaying any potential quarterback change on The Plains:
Chip Lindsey on whether Malik Willis could be an option at quarterback going forward: "Jarrett is our guy. We're committed to him. There's really no thoughts about changing that."

Auburn’s offense has been atrocious this year, so something needs to change. But to suggest benching a likely first-round NFL Draft pick is crazy.
Perhaps the Tigers should use Willis more — like how Georgia uses Justin Fields. However, something does need to change, or things will continue to get worse at Auburn.
