Auburn held its first A-Day Spring Game of the Bryan Harsin era on Saturday in front of 25,210 fans in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Bo Nix looked as solid as you can take out of a spring game while Tank Bigsby looked healthy after suffering from some injuries near the end of last season.
Here’s what Auburn Twitter was talking about before, during and after the game.
I get the sense that if Shaun Shivers were tackled and they actually knocked his leg off, he would pick it up, dust it off, stick it back on, and line up for the next play.

New rule of 2021:
You have to reply back to all Auburn writers and media accounts with..
“This is the year. Bo Nix has improved so much under this new offense. He's focused. He's having fun. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a dark horse for the Heisman.”
Have fun.

Receivers have been disappointing.. can’t get open at times and had some bad drops..
Deep post from the under center play action.. Bo held it too long.

Um, should I be excited about our running backs returning kicks, or deeply worried about our kick coverage teams??

Tank Bigsby is a good football player.

Bo Nix's first pass is a first-down completion to TE Tyler Fromm.

Dematrius Davis can really get out of pressure. Something needed in an Auburn QB right now.

JJ Pegues as a defensive tackle is taking up space.

JUCO cornerback product Kamal Hadden has looked good in coverage today.

Oh nice. Dematrius Davis with a nice 42-yard pass over the shoulder to Malcolm Johnson Jr.
Davis gets to show off his arm a little.
