Quarterback Sean White will make the start in Athens on Saturday. White missed the first half of the Vanderbilt due to a shoulder injury, but came off the bench in the second half to help the Tigers secure the victory.
Running back Kamryn Pettway is also dealing with an injury. He was ruled “not out” for the team’s second cross-division clash in as many weeks.
'We're not ruling out Pettway yet. We wouldn't be surprised if he plays," says Auburn's Gus Malzahn of SEC's leading rusher

While White and Pettway are the most prominent offensive players, Malzahn had more injuries to address:

Gus on Marlon Davidson: "He was banged up (vs. Vandy). Thought Derrick Brown did some good things" (at DE position).
