There won't be a change at quarterback for Auburn against Ole Miss.

Coach Gus Malzahn said Tuesday during his weekly press conference that Jarrett Stidham will remain the Tigers' starting quarterback when the team travels to Oxford, Miss., this weekend to take on Ole Miss at 11 a.m. on ESPN.

"Jarrett Stidham will be our starting quarterback," Malzahn said. "He needs to protect the football better; he understands that, but I do have confidence in him and I think he'll lead us in the right way moving forward."

Malzahn said there was no serious consideration to making a change at quarterback following the loss to Tennessee, which he described as a "tough loss" that caused him to reevaluate everything regarding the team's personnel and other decisions moving forward.

Against the Vols, Stidham completed 28-of-45 passes for 322 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but he also committed three turnovers -- two interceptions under duress and a fumble -- that resulted in 14 Tennessee points. The fumble was recovered by Tennessee and returned for a touchdown late in the third quarter to push the Vols' lead to two scores.

After the game, Stidham gave an emotional and impassioned response explaining what this season means to him and when asked about his play this season and the outside noise calling for a change at quarterback.

"I think it was a good time after a tough loss like that as a head coach you look, and you look at the whole picture," Malzahn said. "We've been close, and close is not good enough. We've got to figure out a way to get over that hump. Jarrett gives us the best chance of winning, and he's tough on himself. He knows the turnovers were tough, and he's disappointed. He's going to fight to do everything he can to get that corrected."

The announcement came just three days after Malzahn said he would reevaluate every position on the team following Auburn's 30-24 loss to Tennessee. While Stidham will remain the starter, Malzahn said there will be "some tweaks" with the team against Ole Miss but chose not to disclose what they may be, though he danced around a question about potential changes on the offensive line.

"I told you after the game I'd be looking at everything to evaluate everything and try to improve us, and I've done that," Malzahn said. "There will be some tweaks this week. I'm not going to sit here and say exactly what they are. I don't want to incriminate us against Ole Miss."
