AUBURN, Ala. -- Telltale signs that it was a good day for Jarrett Stidham: The Auburn quarterback only had to do pushups atoning for two errant throws, and a tailback's fumble near the goal line bounced into his arms for a touchdown.
The one-time Baylor starter supplied fans at Saturday's spring game with hope that a passing game that's frequently sputtered the past few seasons is due for some improvement, deep balls and all. Stidham, who arrived in January after sitting out last season at a Texas junior college, made a good impression after three months of hype.
