BIRMINGHAM, Ala. u2015 Jeremy Johnson helped Auburn close out the season in fine fashion Wednesday when he came off the bench to lead the Tigers to a 31-10 victory over Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl.

Johnson threw the go-ahead touchdown pass in the third quarter, ran for another score early in the fourth and brought life to what had been a hard-fought game that was 10-10 before the dramatics begin in front of a Birmingham Bowl record crowd of 59,430 in Legion Field.

Auburn running back Jovon Robinson was named the game's MVP.
