Gus Malzahn has been asked repeatedly about the punishment for QB Nick Marshall who was cited for weed possession last month. Now according to AL.com, Marshall will not start the first game against Arkansas:
Nick Marshall and Jonathon Mincy will not start against Arkansas but they will play.
How long will Marshall and Mincy be held out in the opener? “I’m not ready to say that yet.”
I expect Marshall to sit out for a half and then get in the game and run all over Arkansas. All eyes will continue to be on Gus though until he makes a definitive statement on punishment for his star QB.
