Have a feeling that letting the redshirt freshman start the game and play a couple series has more to do with taking some pressure off Jeremy Johnson after a couple bad outings and appeasing the fans than it does with actually thinking that White is going to come in and resurrect the offense against a physical SEC team after never playing a college snap.

I would be shocked if White plays more than two or three series. Hope we still prepared for facing Johnson.

So basically you're predicting that White will be worse than Johnson. That's presuming a lot. Johnson's terrible and the coaches are sitting him because they know they cannot win with him.

Excellent point. That's the one thing people seem to forget when talking about how JJ is getting benched. That just means he won't start the game but he will absolutely play.

Auburn could look like a completely different team with a 2 quarterback system. JJ might even play much better coming off the bench rather than starting and playing the whole game.

Trust me, Auburn WILL come to play tonight and we are going to have to fight for a close win.

The only way Johnson plays is if White cannot move the ball down the field. I hope that our DBs get a shot at Johnson, but mentally, he's just not in a good place right now. His coaches don't know what to do with him. Unless White struggles worse than him, he's done.
