re: What type of performance against auburn would change your mind on the QB situation?

If Finley can:

1. Hit 20+ passes consistently and make at least one 30+ pass in the air.

2. Be able to run more of the playbook.

3. Stay clam playing on the road, especially when things don’t go well.

4. Have no more than one turnover.

If Finley can do all of this, then he should get to compete head to head with Brennan the week of the Bama game to see who can lock the job down. Maybe you even go into that game knowing you will rotate some.

This doesn’t have to be all or nothing, even if Finley has some rough patches this week. He gives us an advantage that Brennan doesn’t inside the 5 to 10 and in 3rd and short. He should be playing in those spots going forward, no matter what.
