Auburn senior QB Nick Marshall will not start the first game of the season against Arkansas, HC Gus Malzahn announced.
Marshall was involved in a marijuana possession case this offseason and has already paid fines and taken measures to get back into the good graces of the team's staff. This is a common punishment, but the question is how long Malzahn will hold Marshall out of the game. It was for a different reason, but Johnny Manziel was held out of the first half of the season opener in 2013.
