TUSCALOOSA, Ala. – Jeremy Johnson will start at quarterback for Auburn in Saturday's Iron Bowl, coach Gus Malzahn announced before kickoff.

It will be Johnson's second start in two weeks – and just his second start of the season.

He's making the start over injured Sean White, who started the first 10 games. White has been dealing with an injured shoulder for a month.

His assignment comes against the top-ranked defense in the Southeastern Conference in the 2:30 p.m. game on CBS. John Franklin III may also see action in a backup role.
