Auburn Wire writers share their thoughts on the new format, quarterbacks, and projected win totals ahead of Saturday’s A-Day game.
Auburn football will hold its annual spring game, otherwise known as A-Day, on Saturday at noon CT at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
This year’s format will be much different from years past. Normally, A-Day would consist of an intrasquad scrimmage. However, Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze explains that the usual format does not fit this era of college football. He explained what fans can expect to see during his Thursday press conference.
“I hope (the fans) are not disappointed. I don’t think it’s wise for us to go out there and beat each other up. We’re already kind of banged up. It’ll be a normal practice like today, truthfully, if you got to see today. There will be some indo, skelly, and then our young guys will have a little live period and then we’re going to end with what we call redzone lockout, which will be a live period. First one to 18 wins. Offense gets the ball on the 25, you score a touchdown with an extra point, that’s seven. The defense stops you and you kick a field goal, that’s three points for the offense and four points for the defense. Miss the field goal, the defense gets seven or a stop somehow or turnover, they get seven. The first one to 18 wins that, and then end with an overtime period where we practice the overtime stuff. That’s what you can kind of expect. There will be a skelly drive a period or two where we have another chance to do some things where we are hopefully not too at risk to get injured. But we’ll end with that redzone lockout stuff going into an overtime period.”
