5 takeaways from Auburn’s Birmingham Bowl victory over Memphis

No. 1: Auburn still has no answer at quarterback

Sean White got the start at quarterback over Jeremy Johnson, and at first he was moving the offense well, but then Gus Malzahn dialed up some passing plays. After hitting on three of his first four passes, he threw two interceptions before halftime, one of which was taken back for a Memphis touchdown.

The first interception he threw was on a fourth and two play where he was trying to hit the running back out of the backfield. He was pressured and hit as he threw, but he threw a bullet that went right to the Memphis linebacker.
