AUBURN, Ala. - Forcing five turnovers, Auburn’s defense dominated the Tigers’ first spring scrimmage, coach Gus Malzahn said Saturday.

“The defense really stood out to me today,” Malzahn said. “They won the line of scrimmage.”

Junior safety Daniel Thomas made two interceptions, teammates said.

“Daniel’s a guy that he’s got a lot of experience,” Malzahn said. “He is starting to turn into a veteran, and you kind of just sense it out there when you’re going 11-on-11. So the expectations are very high for him.”

That Auburn’s defense had the upper hand was unsurprising, Malzahn said.
