Auburn's head football coach watched the defense control the team's first preseason scrimmage and saw plenty to like from Defensive Coordinator Will Muschamp's group.
Auburn, Ala.--Auburn paid big bucks to bring Will Muschamp on board to fix a variety of issues with the SEC team’s defense. If Monday’s scrimmage is a good indicator, the Tigers are making progress in that area.
Gus Malzahn, who is heading into his third season as head coach of the Tigers, said Monday’s 90-play scrimmage was the best for the defense since he took over the program.
“Defense completely dominated the scrimmage,” said Malzahn, who put the Tigers through the session at Jordan-Hare Stadium on just the second day of full pads practices this preseason.
