Some called Jeremy Johnson the next Cam Newton. At the very least, they expected him to be an All-SEC candidate and in the running for the Heisman Trophy at the end of the season.
Three games in, and Auburn is wishing they could hand Nick Marshall a jersey again. Johnson hasn't only failed to live up to the high expectations placed on him in the preseason, but he's hurt his team with bad decisions and costly turnovers.
He's thrown more interceptions (6) than touchdowns (5) and completed less than 60 percent of his passes.
The Tigers took down Louisville 31-24 in Week 1 despite Johnson's three-interception performance and survived a scrappy FCS team in Jacksonville State as he tossed two more picks.
