I read an article in the Anniston Star that said the first unit O never faced the first unit D and vice versa (basically). If true, it's kind of hard to tell a whole lot about the situation.


There is an article on al.com talking about the defense was filled with reserves and walk ons. The starters mostly did not play yesterday. By the way, when was the last time AU did not field a solid defense?

This is from the Auburn website, but it is an AP report, so very likely the one either reprinted or used as underlying info for the AL.com and Anniston Star reports.

Neil Caudle knows the big plays and points Auburn's offense put up in Saturday's spring game came with a caveat.

Caudle and fellow quarterback Kodi Burns were facing a defense that was a mix-and-match group with a number of key players out or limited with injuries.

The Tigers offense produced 70-yard runs by newcomer Onterio McCalebb and receiver Terrell Zachery on an end-around. Ben Tate only had four carries, but they produced 72 yards and touchdowns of 46 and 9 yards on his first two series. Darvin Adams had a 45-yard catch and Mario Fannin a 41-yarder.

To Caudle, it was a solid debut for offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn's no-huddle, shotgun attack.

"I know the defense is banged up and they didn't have all of their guys," said Caudle, who passed for 161 yards and two touchdowns. "But it's a big confidence-builder for us to go out there and hang up that many points on them."
