Clemson Football Opponent Report: Auburn names starting QB

The 2016 Clemson football season opener against Auburn is less than a week away and up until now the Tigers of Alabama had not named a starting quarterback.

It was a three-way battle between talented JUCO transfer John Franklin III, Sean White, and Jeremy Johnson.

War Eagle has now revealed that Sean White will be the starting against Clemson football on September 3rd.

Malzahn says the other quarterbacks competed "extremely hard", but Sean White "earned it."

To be honest, this comes as no surprise for anyone keeping up with the Auburn football program and I still would not be shocked if we saw John Franklin III at some point during the game next Saturday.
