AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Peyton Barber jumped out front of the running back pack in Auburn's season-opener, but coach Gus Malzahn says all his tailbacks are still in the running for high-profile playing time.

"We'll see how this thing plays out. We feel like we have four guys, and they're all just a little bit different. That's usually a good thing," Malzahn during his appearance on the SEC teleconference Wednesday.

Barber heads into Saturday's 11 a.m. game against Jacksonville State topping the Auburn rushing charts with 115 yards.
