AUBURN, Ala. -- The goal for the Auburn defense this spring has been simple. Competition at every spot. Defensive coordinator Kevin Steele said Thursday that he wants more than one guy competing at all 11 spots. It holds everybody accountable and responsible.

That's been a little more difficult for the offense where injuries have taken their toll.

Wide receivers Eli Stove and Will Hastings both suffered ACL injuries that will keep them out for an extended period of time.
