Why Auburn named Sean White its starting quarterback

Auburn’s three-man quarterback competition finally came to an end Thursday when head coach Gus Malzahn named Sean White the starter for Week 1.

White started the last time Auburn played, Dec. 30, 2015, in the Birmingham Bowl, and after competing against the likes of Jeremy Johnson and John Franklin III for the past seven months, he will be the one who trots back out with the first-team offense when the Tigers host Clemson a week from Saturday (9 p.m. ET, ESPN).
