TJ Finley, Texas A&M transfer Zac Calzada, Oregon transfer Robby Ashford, and freshman Holden Geriner will enter fall camp hoping to emerge as the Tigers quarterback for the season-opener on Labor Day against Mercer at Jordan-Hare. "I'm excited about it, " Kiesau said. Sometimes it's like, 'Oh man, you got so many, guys.' That's a good thing because let's say you got three really good ones, if at the end of the day they're all competing against each other, well that guy's going, 'Whew, that guy behind me is pretty good; I better stay sharp or stay on my game and get completions.' It's going to help everybody out in that room because I believe competition brings out the best in any position, but it'll be more evident at the quarterback position." Finley is the most experienced in the room as an Auburn QB. He took over the reins as starting quarterback for Harsin when Bo Nix got injured during the comeback win at Jordan-Hare by Mississippi State.At times Finley flashed the skills necessary to win in the Southeastern Conference. He also struggled with accuracy, and the Tigers lost contests against South Carolina, Alabama, and the bowl game against Houston with Finley as the starter. Finley is the most familiar with what Harsin wants to do on offen se. He's ready for the competition. "Life is all about competition. When you think about it, life as a whole, you're always competing for a job, you know what I'm saying? Bringing those guys in only put fire in me to get better, which I needed, especiall y after the season like last year," Finley said. So, we're all supportive of each other, understand what's going on, and understand we're competing for one job, so may the best man win." - Birmingham News
