Auburn wrapped up its second day of practice since classes started for the fall semester. The Tigers have yet to name a starting quarterback, but they have shifted their attention from the camp portion of the preseason to preparing for the season opener against Clemson on Sept. 3.

Offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee is scheduled to meet with the media at approximately 5:45 p.m., and he is expected to provide updates on injured wide receivers Tony Stevens and Kyle Davis.

RHETT LASHLEE

-- With two weeks until the season opener, Auburn started transitioning toward Clemson prep, but "hasn't gone fully there" with attention. Still between fall camp stuff and season prep.

-- First practice Wednesday after classes started was "average."

-- All three quarterbacks still taking reps and competing. Coaching staff has not pared it down yet.

-- "It's probably a little early" to say if freshman Woody Barrett will be redshirted, but "he's way behind" the other three quarterbacks at this point.

-- No decision yet about a scrimmage on Saturday, but Lashlee says they will do a lot of situational work this weekend. 

-- Tyler Queen is out there in full pads but on a pitch count, throwing 30-50 balls per day. "He's in a position with no reason to rush him."

-- Tony Stevens is still limited but will be "back in several days."

-- Freshman Kyle Davis could be fully cleared to practice by Sunday or Monday.

-- Chandler Cox is "a stud" and really stood out in fall camp, per Lashlee. Alex Kozan and Braden Smith have also stood out -- as has the entire starting lineup along the offensive line.

-- Coaching staff "feels pretty good" about its assessment of the quarterbacks at this point.

-- With quarterback battle lasting longer than expected, Lashlee said there won't be any problem tweaking the offense when they do make a decision.
