War Eagle, everybody! It is time now for a post-spring look at the Auburn defense. It is hard not to be excited about this year’s prospects, after a dominant A-Day performance. The top two units started A-Day holding the respective offenses to 0 first downs in 10 drives, and the passers connected on just 4 of 13 attempts for 4 yards. While offensive numbers improved in the second half, it was against walk-ons and scout team members.

The starting defense was astonishingly stingy. The starters held the opposing offense to minus 5 yards, total, in the first half of A-Day.
