AUBURN, Ala. u2015 The defense won Auburn's first scrimmage of the preseason Monday, and coach Gus Malzahn said it wasn't even close.

"The defense completely dominated the scrimmage," Malzahn said of the 90-play practice in Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Malzahn said it was the most dominant performance by a defense "since I've been a head coach." The offense didn't have a touchdown.

"It was real football today. The defense did a good job," Malzahn said.

"The defense had three turnovers, so they flat got after the offense.
