For White's final regular season game as a Mountaineer, at home against South Florida, West Virginia promoted a "White-Out" to honor his career. In his Senior Night performance, a 13–7 victory over South Florida, White passed for 141 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 40 yards on a snow-covered field to finish his career at West Virginia in front of 48,000 white-clad fans.

Career Rushing Yards by Quarterback On January 1, 2013, Denard Robinson of the University of Michigan surpassed Pat White's career rushing yardage total. However, because Robinson played the position of running back in games and accumulated rushing yards, he is not the true record holder for most career rushing yards by a quarterback. But due to an NCAA rule, Denard was given the career rushing record by 15 yards, even though he took handoffs at running back.
