AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Jeremy Johnson will likely remain Auburn's starting quarterback for the Tigers' game against Idaho on Saturday.

Tigers coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday Sean White is still nursing a left knee injury. Malzahn says Auburn has ''got to get him healthy before he gets back on the field.''

Both quarterbacks played in a loss to Georgia, when Johnson started his second straight game. Johnson's 14 completions went for just 61 yards with an interception on a bad overthrow.
