Sean White Named Auburn's Starting Quarterback Against Clemson

Tonight in his press conference, Gus Malzahn ended the speculation that has been running rampant for the last few weeks since Fall Camp began. He named Sean White the starting QB for the opener against Clemson.

It's been a protracted battle, as with each passing week the speculation that John Franklin III was creeping up in the race. There have been times that Jeremy Johnson was said to be performing well, too. Still, most of the tea leaves were reading White for the majority of Spring and Fall Camp.

Gus: "We've got three guys who can run our offense, but Sean will be the first one out there."

We'll have more on this before long and what the offense will look like with White as the starter.

Oh, and Kevin Phillips was named the starting punter. That happened, too. More on that tomorrow!
