Elevator and Nick Marshall put away Arkansas

Nick Marshall started the game on the bench and Auburn responded in turn by actually looking pretty great. Jeremy Johnson threw for 243 yards and 2 touchdowns completing 12 of his 16 passes. As whispers of a potential QB controversy floated around the Twittersphere, Nick Marshall came in to start the 2nd half and the Auburn offense indeed found its groove. While his direct production was minimal, the running game dominated a sluggish second half Arkansas defense. The bottom line is that Marshall is the man in Malzahn’s offense, but it’s nice to know the guy in waiting can get the job done.

More importantly, we can crown a victor in the little feud between Malzahn and Bielema as Gus clearly got the last laugh when the Arkansas coaching staff got stuck in a press box elevator during halftime preventing them from meeting with their team. The results of “elevator-gate” certainly speak for themselves considering the Razorbacks were held to 51 yards and zero points in the 2nd half. We don’t know for sure if it was Gus holding the “door close” button during halftime, but we’re going to assume it was.
