Auburn A-Day: Twitter reactions to annual spring game

Auburn held its first spring game under Bryan Harsin on Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium and Twitter had its reactions.

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.

Five quick takeaways from Auburn’s 2021 A-Day Spring Game

Bo Nix looked solid and Tank Bigsby looked great while the Auburn defense held tough in the A-Day Spring Game on Saturday.

It is difficult to tell much about a team as a whole after its annual spring game but, usually, a few players pop up and make some noise and show they are ready to have a great season.

Auburn’s A-Day Spring Game was no different as the Tigers held its first one in the Bryan Harsin era. There were some surprises, some things you expected to see and a few other notable performances.

Here are five quick takeaways from the day as the White team beat the Blue team 17-3.

Bryan Harsin on A-Day: ‘We all hope that Jordan-Hare is full capacity’

New Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin wants Tigers fans to show up in groves for the annual A-Day Spring Game on April 17.

With his first spring practice on the Plains arriving in a week, new Auburn head coach Bryan Harsin is hoping that Tigers fans show up to the stadium to watch their team during the annual A-Day spring game.

In fact, he wants the stadium and campus to be rocking like it does during the fall.

“We all hope that Jordan-Hare is full capacity and that we can get that experience with our fan base — we can have Tiger Walk, we can do all the things that make Auburn football so special,” Harsin said on the Talking Tigers podcast with Andy Burcham. “I feel like the excitement and that momentum really from our fans and people that support our program and are part of Auburn football — all that momentum makes a difference. It creates the culture. It creates the recruiting success. It creates the development of our team because we have the momentum; we have that energy and excitement behind what we’re doing. We can’t do that alone, so we need everybody to be a part of that.”

There is a lot of work for Harsin, his coaching staff and their new team to do before getting to the game on April 17. A lot of question marks surround the Tigers as they begin practice including shoring up the offensive line, who exactly will stand out at wide receiver and, of course, fixing what ails Bo Nix.

“I think the 15 practices in spring are maybe the most valuable practices you get in an entire year,” Harsin said. “It sets the stage for your whole entire summer because in the summertime, that’s where the greatest development comes for a particular player — their strength, their speed, their football intelligence. All the things they’re preparing to execute during a season happens in the summer. You fine-tune that in fall camp, but where does it all come from? It comes from the spring.”

Auburn begins practice on Monday, March 15.
