What does it mean?
The easy answer is: probably nothing. At least not yet.
Martin had the most carries for Auburn on Saturday, running 22 times and catching five passes out of the backfield. He led the team with 80 rushing yards and added 32 receiving. But Whitlow entered the game late on the game-winning drive.
Martin ran for eight yards to the UW 13 for a first down, but was held to three yards on consecutive plays. That’s when offensive coordinator Chip Lindsey sent in Whitlow. The redshirt freshman had his number called and scored his first career touchdown to give Auburn the lead.
