BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- It will be Sean White, not Jeremy Johnson, who will start at quarterback for Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl. Head coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday that he would wait until right before the game before he named a starter, and he stayed true to his word. The school announced White as the starter less than two hours before kickoff.
"Both the guys have had good practices since we've been here," Malzahn said Tuesday. "It hasn't changed. Sean White is close to being 100 percent healthy, and Jeremy Johnson is healthy. We feel good about both the guys .
