The Nick Marshall era for Auburn football kicked off on Saturday night on the Plains, but it wasn't the start the coaching staff and fans were looking for.

Sure, Auburn beat Washington State 31-24, but junior college quarterback Marshall was far from the dynamic playmaker he was touted to be during fall camp.

Marshall completed 10 of 19 passes for 99 yards in addition to rushing nine times for 27 yards.

The good news is that he didn't throw a pick or fumble, which is a departure from his junior college norm. The bad news is that he didn't find the end zone through the air or on the ground, and was inconsistent in the passing game.

According to Christian Caple of The Spokesman-Review, Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday tabbed Marshall as the problem rather than part of the solution.

Marshall needs to calm down in the pocket. He showed off his big arm early, letting loose a 67-yard bomb with relative ease on the first drive of the game. One problem, though: It was 10 yards past wide receiver Sammie Coates.
