Auburn quarterback Sean White suffered a broken forearm and played through the injury, according to his father.
White appeared to sustain the injury on a third down run on Auburn’s opening drive of the game. He was hit by Oklahoma linebacker Jordan Evans at the conclusion of a 3-yard run but remained in the game, tossing to Chandler Cox has he bulled in for a 3-yard touchdown rush.
White played Auburn’s next three drives, leading the Tigers on a 43-yard field goal drive on his final drive before giving way to John Franklin III. (Franklin also led Auburn to a field goal drive on Auburn’s last possession of the first half.)
ESPN’s Kaylee Hartung reported White would not return to the game, and White’s father later told AuburnUndercover beat writer Brandon Marcello his son sustained a broken forearm.
