The Auburn quarterback room just got interesting — again. After a bye week filled with coaching rumors and speculation, the buzz is all about Deuce Knight and whether he’ll start against Mercer. Sources inside the program say the Tigers plan to redshirt Ashton Daniels, a move that opens the door for Knight to take over… unless Jackson Arnold steals that start.

In this week’s episode of The Auburn Express, Mike G and Caesar dive deep into the Deuce Knight vs. Jackson Arnold decision. With new offensive coordinator Derrick Nix calling plays, Auburn fans have already seen what a difference the right scheme can make. The question now: do the Tigers ride with their future in Knight, or play it safe with Arnold?

Deuce Knight showed flashes earlier in the season but struggled under Hugh Freeze’s fractured offense. With more time under Nix and two weeks of prep, there’s real belief Knight could finally show why he’s one of Auburn’s most talented young QBs. Caesar argues that starting anyone else — especially against Mercer — risks not just the game, but the locker room buy-in for 2025.

Mike pushes back: is this staff overthinking it, or is there a deeper NIL or roster-management reason behind the decision? The guys debate how this one choice could impact Auburn’s recruiting momentum, fan confidence, and DJ Durkin’s reputation as the new man in charge.
