As a passer, he's coming off of two very efficient games (2 TDs and 68.6% completions against Alabama and 1 TD and 81% completions against Missouri). How will he handle his assignments in this big game? Will he be able to make the throws when he needs to? Can he curb some fumbling issues?

In two of it's last three games, the Auburn defense has given up 38 and 42 points.
