AUBURN, Ala. -- Brace yourself, Auburn fans. Jeremy Johnson could be your starting quarterback in Saturday’s Iron Bowl.
It was a reality that many fans wouldn’t have thought possible two weeks ago. Johnson, the one-time starter, had fallen to third on the depth chart behind Sean White and John Franklin III, and he hadn’t taken a snap at quarterback since the season opener against Clemson.
When White got hurt before the Vanderbilt game, it was Franklin who started and played the first half before White returned to lead Auburn back in the second.
