AUBURN, Ala. — There is a picture that circulates on Internet message boards every time Auburn’s quarterback situation gets dicey.
It’s a lineup from an Elite 11 quarterback camp in 2005 featuring several of the nation’s top high school recruits.
Current NFL players Josh Freeman and Matthew Stafford, who broke records at Kansas State and Georgia, respectively, flank the group. Current college stars such as Florida’s Tim Tebow, Mississippi’s Jevan Snead and even Delaware’s Pat Devlin, a former Penn State player, stand between them.
Smack dab in the middle are the unmistakable, well-coiffed bangs of Neil Caudle, who continues to wait his turn at Auburn.
Caudle gave his full support to Chris Todd after coaches told him Sunday that they will stick with the struggling starter despite Auburn’s three-game losing streak. Todd has completed only 50 percent of his passes the past three weeks for 260 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.
“We’re handling it the right way,” Caudle said. “We believe in Chris. We believe he’s a good player. He’s shown that numerous times. Things aren’t clicking on offense right now but we’re going to get it fixed and we know Chris is going to do a good job for us.”
