Auburn’s 29-16 loss to No. 10 Texas A&M last weekend wasn’t enough to prompt a quarterback change.
Gus Malzahn says Sean White is still his starting quarterback for LSU game. "He gives us the best chance of winning."

Sophomore Sean White averaged just 4.7 yards per pass on 18 completions against the Aggies and didn’t find the end zone. JUCO transfer John Franklin III entered the game in the fourth quarter and didn’t fare much better throwing the ball, though he did rip off 47 yards on nine carries.
White will remain the starter when Auburn (1-2, 0-1 SEC) hosts No. 18 LSU (2-1, 1-0 SEC) at 6 p.m. ET Saturday, but there’s a chance the Tigers will see both quarterbacks on the Plains.
