Auburn didn't look good in its Week 3 loss to LSU, quarterback Jeremy Johnson included. Johnson finished 11-for-19 with 100 yards, two touchdowns, one interception, and also submitted his bid for worst play of the year with a hilarious fumble.

Despite his struggles, Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee said Sunday that Johnson is still "expected" to be the starter against Mississippi State on Saturday.

If Auburn wants to compete, Johnson needs to be better. The junior has five touchdowns to six interceptions, and has completed only 59 percent of his passes through the first three games of the season.
