Gus Malzahn Recapturing His Play-Calling Magic Is Auburn's Top Offseason Goal

The quarterback position was Auburn Football's most visible sore spot from the moment the Tigers took the field in Game 1 in Atlanta vs. Louisville through the end of the regular season vs. Alabama.

Jeremy Johnson lost the job after Week 3 due to ineffectiveness and was replaced by Sean White. However, Johnson was reinserted into the starting lineup after White got banged up in November.

In Saturday's 31-10 Birmingham Bowl win over Memphis, it was Johnson getting the last laugh.

White threw two picks, while Johnson provided a second-half goal-line spark for the Tigers with touchdowns through the air and on the ground to cap off Auburn's season at 7-6 and give the football program, at least, a little momentum after a season of tumult.
