Auburn’s Defense Shines in First Fall Scrimmage

On Saturday, Auburn held their first scrimmage of fall camp. Lightning delayed the action but eventually the Tigers were able to get in some work. Unsurprisingly, Auburn’s defense looks to be ahead of the offense, controlling the line of scrimmage for much of the night and forcing at least three turnovers.

“Overall I thought the D-line played pretty well,” Harsin said. “I thought our linebackers — they were hitting it downhill. And then there were some negative plays that the defense created. I though that front seven did well.”

“They’re really defending whatever the offense is doing, so those guys communicating, that focus, and then when the ball is snapped, really just that effort, and just being relentless to the ball,” Harsin said.
