AUBURN, Ala. u2015 He faked a punt, played a bunch of guys, saw a confidence-boosting performance from quarterback Jeremy Johnson and came out of the game without any additional injuries. Coach Gus Malzahn said Auburn accomplished what it needed to in Saturday's 56-34 win over Idaho, the last stop before playing Alabama in the Iron Bowl at home next week.

Auburn led 35-17 at the half and 56-20 before the Vandals scored two touchdowns against backups.

"The best thing is we got the victory and got a chance to play a lot of guys who deserved to play," Malzahn said.
