Auburn’s poised, first-start spark plug at quarterback
In the 2005 season, Blake Field made his first career start and flashed clean efficiency, completing 13 of 20 passes for 200 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions against Western Kentucky. He profiles as a calm, pro-style quarterback with good size and enough poise to handle pressure, and his best trait is that he didn’t play like a nervous freshman when Auburn needed him. The catch: his value is more about composure and readiness than big-time, elite physical upside, so he fits best as a steady system QB who can execute cleanly when called upon.
