COLLEGE STATION, Texas u2015 Jeremy Johnson will replace injured Sean White as Auburn's starting quarterback against Texas A&M on Saturday night, coach Gus Malzahn announced before kickoff.

Johnson, who started the first three games of the season, is getting the call because a knee injury prevented White from practicing this week. White has started the last five games, but Malzahn said he would only be used Saturday in an "emergency situation."

Jonathan Wallace, who started four games for Auburn in 2011 but has played receiver the last two years, will be the backup quarterback.
