White has been battling an injury to his throwing shoulder for much of the season. He re-aggravated the injury during a November loss to Georgia and missed the final two games of the regular season.

White made a few impressive throws during Auburn’s touchdown drive in the first quarter, but struggled as the game progressed. He was 4-of-10 passing for 35 yards.
