Knight Lights Up Jordan-Hare!

Auburn cruised to an easy win against Mercer this past Saturday, but the real story? Freshman Deuce Knight's unbelievable debut!

Redshirt Strategy Leads to Explosive Debut

With starting QB Ashton Daniels strategically sidelined to preserve his redshirt eligibility, all eyes turned to Knight. While everyone expected just a few snaps against an FCS opponent before Daniels returned for the Iron Bowl, Knight had other plans.

Six Touchdowns?! Seriously?!

The young phenom accounted for a mind-blowing six touchdowns! Four on the ground and two through the air. The fireworks started immediately with a 75-yard touchdown scamper on the very first play. He added another long TD run just minutes later!

Iron Bowl Implications?

Knight finished with a stunning 239 passing yards and 162 rushing yards. It's almost unthinkable considering Daniels' recent success against Vandy, but Coach Durkin has to be considering Knight for the Iron Bowl, right?

What's Next?

While starting a true freshman in his first SEC game against Alabama seems unlikely, a package designed to get Knight involved feels almost inevitable. And if Daniels struggles? Don't be surprised to see Knight take the reins, no matter the magnitude of the game. Based on Saturday's performance, he's definitely up for it!
