Auburn is apparently heading into SEC play without its starting quarterback.
TJ Finley, who was named the Tigers’ starter ahead of the season, will be out for Saturday’s Missouri contest with a shoulder injury, according to multiple reports.Finley, who sat out the majority of the second half in last week’s 41-12 loss to Penn State and was relieved by Robby Ashford, appeared to holding his shoulder on his final drive of the day.
“He got banged up a little bit in the game,” Harsin said. “I think some of their guys did as well. That’s football, that happens during games and all that, and so guys, I don’t think that impacted too much of the decision to go with Robby at that point. But TJ was trying to make plays out there as well, and Robby came in and did some good things for us.”

Ashford will presumably get his first start in Finley’s absence, and the Oregon transfer has seen plenty of game time early this season. He’s 15-for-29 for 245 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions. He’s also Auburn’s second-leading rusher behind Tank Bigsby with 158 yards on 24 carries.
