Auburn quarterback T.J. Finley is not with the Tigers in Starkville this weekend. Read the latest here:
It has been a turbulent season for Finley, who entered the year as Auburn’s starting quarterback after beating out Robby Ashford, Zach Calzada and Holden Geriner for the top spot. He completed 22-of-34 passes for 279 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions through Auburn’s first two games -- wins against Mercer and San Jose State -- before he injured his shoulder during Auburn’s loss to Penn State on Sept. 17.
Finley returned briefly against Ole Miss before the bye week, inserted for one series after Ashford struggled early against the Rebels. Finley played just three snaps before a fumble on a strip-sack resulted in a turnover. He did not see the field in last week’s loss to Arkansas, and according to a source, Finley is still rehabbing the shoulder, which is not yet 100 percent recovered from the shoulder sprain he suffered against Penn State.
On the year, Finley has completed 33-of-53 passes for 431 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions. Ashford has started each of Auburn’s last five games, during which the Tigers have gone 1-4 with four consecutive losses. That losing streak and the team’s overall struggles the last two seasons led to Monday’s firing of head coach Bryan Harsin, along with offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Eric Kiesau and five other staffers.
