Auburn coach Gus Malzahn does not dress linebacker T.J. Neal

QuoteGraduate transfer T.J. Neal wasn't pleased after Auburn's home loss to Clemson last weekend and took to social media to express his thoughts.

Neal posted a series of tweets — which were quickly deleted— voicing his frustration with his lack of playing time to start the 2016 season. [He later posted tweets apologizing.]

On Saturday, the linebacker was missing from pregame warmups prior to Auburn's second home game against Arkansas State. For the second week in a row the Illinois transfer did not play.

"He did not dress out tonight," Malzahn said. "I chose not to dress him out."

Kevin Steele: "We're always in a process of teaching guys on and off the field about how we handle things. I guess the way to say it is that has no effect on playing time one way or the other, whether it's on social media or it's not."
