Auburn's First A-Day Under Alex Golesh Ends With Offense on Top, 66-43

Golesh cast the scrimmage as a healthy checkpoint for a roster rebuilt through about 40 transfers.

Overview

  • The spring scrimmage at Jordan-Hare Stadium, which kicked off Saturday at 2 p.m. CT, was the public’s first look at Golesh’s new offense in a radio-only event.
  • Transfer quarterback Byrum Brown went 7-of-14 for 85 yards with two interceptions and no touchdowns against DJ Durkin’s defense.
  • Media named freshman receiver Deshawn Spencer offensive MVP, Jared Smith defensive MVP, and kicker Alex McPherson specialist after he hit both field goals including a 55-yarder.
  • Golesh said the best outcome was a clean bill of health as coaches turn A-Day film into a baseline for depth and development.
  • The game marked practice No. 15 of the spring and came after months of roster churn that brought in roughly 40 transfers.
