Good day
lifts Cox up
depth chart
A good scrimmage has improved quarterback Brandon Cox's standing with the Auburn football team.
Coach Tommy Tuberville released an updated depth chart Monday afternoon, and Cox is the second-team quarterback behind starter Jason Campbell. Kelcy Luke is No. 3.
Both Cox and Luke are redshirt freshmen. Campbell is a senior. Cox completed 9 of 15 passes for 175 yards in an intrasquad scrimmage Saturday.
Otherwise, the most remarkable part of the depth chart is that offensive tackles Marcus McNeill and Troy Reddick have switched positions. McNeill is now the left tackle, and Reddick is lining up at right tackle.
Carnell Williams is listed as the starting tailback, while Ronnie Brown is second.
At wide receiver, Devin Aromashodu, Anthony Mix and Courtney Taylor are first team, while Silas Daniels, Lee Guess and Ben Obomanu are on the second squad.
On defense, the biggest battle might be waged at linebacker. Kevin Sears has moved in front of former defensive back Karibi Dede at strongside linebacker. Mayo Sowell is ahead of Quentin Groves at middle linebacker. Travis Williams is entrenched at weakside linebacker.
