We’re heading into a big weekend of college football. Of course the marquee game is Saturday night in Auburn as the 15th ranked LSU Tigers visit the 5th ranked War Eagles. Offensively, Auburn is led by senior quarterback Nick Marshall, who led the War Eagles to the national championship game last season. Tiger Rag Magazine Editor Robert Stewart says Marshall rushed for over one-thousand yards last season and he can also make some plays through the air…
