Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee spoke with the media on Sunday evening ahead of the Tigers’ 8 p.m. practice session.
In the conference, Lashlee spoke about QB Sean White, who earned the Auburn starting job earlier this week.
Lashlee made it known that White is a talented player who can help the Tigers in various aspects of the game:
Auburn's Rhett Lashlee says Sean White is 'a better runner than people would give him credit for. Arm has been able to make all the throws.'

But, White’s running game isn’t what won him the job. Lashlee said he was impressed with White’s throwing ability.
Lashlee: "Sean (White) can make every throw on the field, and he takes it pretty personal when people say he can't make a certain throw."

White will have options to work with offensively, including freshman WR Kyle Davis, who Lashlee said has looked good upon his return from injury:
Lashlee said freshman WR Kyle Davis looks healthy now that he's back. Issue is conditioning, just because he hasn't practiced much.

Finally, Lashlee said there will be a depth chart coming out soon for the Auburn offense:
