AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn’s first-teamers went head to head for nearly half of the Tigers’ 111-play scrimmage Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

“It was good for us as coaches, and players, to see where we’re at,” Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said. “Because there’s nothing like live football. You can simulate all you want to during practice, but when you actually go live, there were a couple of guys, any time you go live, they respond in a different way. Overall, it was a good scrimmage.”

Malzahn said the scrimmage was “pretty even,” with the defense forcing three-and-outs at times, while the offense sustained drives at others.
