AUBURN, Ala. u2015 Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin heaped praise on Auburn defensive end Carl Lawson on Wednesday.
Auburn coach Gus Malzahn couldn't argue.
"With Carl back, I really believe you'll see improvement," Malzahn said of his team during the same SEC teleconference.
Auburn happens to be playing Texas A&M at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, and that's why the topic quickly turned to Lawson, who returned to the Tigers' lineup last Saturday after missing six games with a hip injury. Even Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze, who faced Lawson last Saturday, said the return of the defensive end elevated Auburn's defensive line to the second best he faced this season.
