It looks like it.

0:45.9

We just saw your report from inside Auburn practice where in the viewing period that the media was allowed,

0:51.2

Deuce Knight was, I guess, at least early on, in the place of the starting quarterback.

I mean, do you think he's the starter Saturday if you had to guess right now?

1:03.3

I don't know.
