Practice Update
AUBURN, Ala. -- The Auburn football team lightened its load with a 90-minute workout Friday at the team's practice fields behind the Athletic Complex. The squad worked out in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts under cooler conditions.
Auburn head coach Tommy Tuberville was encouraged by the team's performance at practice, sensing the Tigers are getting focused for the season opener, which is just eight days away.
"Today was our second day of preparation for Georgia Tech, and we're starting to get a little better attitude," he said. "They (the players) get tomorrow off, and they're looking forward to that. You can tell they're fired up."
Auburn continued scout team preparation for the second day in a row, and also focused on special teams play. The Tigers mixed in position work in both small and large groups, as well.
