TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Coach Gus Malzahn said he called on John Franklin III to provide a spark to Auburn's offense Saturday night.
John Franklin III was good with that.
The Auburn quarterback had the team's longest pass play of the season and Auburn's second longest run in the game in Alabama's 30-12 Iron Bowl win Saturday night. Franklin, a backup all season, saw extended action in the second half in relief of Jeremy Johnson, who started over the injured Sean White.
Franklin took it all in stride.
