Senior quarterback Chris Todd has been catching some flak the past two weeks for his less than stellar play against the University of Arkansas and the University of Kentucky.
It's almost like the first five games of the season, when he blew up the stat book, don't even matter anymore.
He has thrown 12 touchdowns compared to his two interceptions.
Seven games with only two interceptions is amazing, especially in a conference and division that prides itself with good defense.
There is a resemblance to the former No. 12 for the football team, Brandon Cox.
Cox was criticized as being an inconsistent quarterback, but his inconsistencies would only come against sub-par teams.
In the big games, like 2006 and 2007 against the University of Florida, Cox would step up and get the job done.
Not to mention he never lost to Alabama.
Todd's recent play is similar to the way Cox played.
He came up big against the University of Tennessee, but the physical and emotional toll that game took on him seems to have been too much for him to overcome.
Todd is also in the same situation as Cox was in his senior year.
He is a strong quarterback, but some see him as dead weight because of the highly recruited freshman dual-threat quarterback.
This week is a big game, a must win for Auburn, and Todd should have it in him to get a victory.
