AUBURN, Ala. (AP) – Jeremy Johnson made a strong case to start at quarterback in Auburn’s spring game.
The junior threw for 252 yards and two touchdowns in one half Saturday as Team Auburn topped Team Tigers 24-14.
Coach Gus Malzahn said afterward that competition was still open for the starting job. Freshman Sean White completed 79 percent of his passes for 109 yards.
Sophomore running back Racean ”Roc” Thomas rushed for 69 yards while playing for both sides. Thomas has been in competition with junior college transfer Jovon Robinson and Peyton Barber to replace the SEC’s leading rusher, Cameron Artis-Payne.
New defensive coordinator Will Muschamp’s first A-Day produced an improved defensive spring game performance, as a late touchdown accounted for the only points of the second half.
