Look: The best photos from Auburn’s first scrimmage of fall

Here’s a look at the best images from Auburn’s first scrimmage of fall camp.

The countdown to kickoff timer hit the three-week mark Saturday, which was a great time for Auburn football to have a scrimmage.

According to head coach Bryan Harsin, he saw good things out of his quarterbacks. Each candidate for the starting job, [autotag]T.J. Finley[/autotag], [autotag]Zach Calzada[/autotag] and [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] all had their chance to lead the offense during the scrimmage. Harsin says that the next two weeks will be dedicated to finding out who is worthy enough to get more reps in practice.

Auburn may have found their third candidate at running back as well. Freshman [autotag]Damari Alston[/autotag] apparently had a great scrimmage, breaking open a 40-yard touchdown rush while working with the second team offense.

There will be plenty to watch from camp over the next few weeks. But, until then, here’s a look at the best images from Auburn’s first scrimmage of fall camp, taken by Auburn Athletics photographer Todd Van Emst.

5 questions ahead of Alabama’s first scrimmage of fall camp

Despite being the overwhelming favorite heading into the season, Alabama still has some questions that need to be answered.

[autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team will head over to Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday to partake in the first scrimmage of the 2022 fall camp. With just a handful of practices under their belt and a couple of unfortunate injuries, there are several questions that linger over the team in the early part of camp.

Since media access is very limited to practice and especially scrimmages, it is hard to say if we will receive any information of value following Saturday’s event unless coach Saban just simply offers it up, but it’s unlikely.

One thing is for certain, despite being the overwhelming favorite to win the national championship heading into the season, the Crimson Tide still has some questions that are lingering.

Let’s take a look at a few of the questions I would like to have a little more clarity on.

LSU and UL-Lafayette to face off on Sunday in a fall baseball scrimmage

LSU and UL-Lafayette will face off in a fall baseball scrimmage on Sunday.

The LSU Baseball team will face UL-Lafayette on Sunday in a Fall baseball scrimmage.

According to the press release from the LSU athletic department, the first pitch comes at 12:00 p.m. CT. Gates will open at 11:00 a.m. and parking will be free. The fall baseball practice schedule will continue through Nov. 21. The game on Sunday will feature 16 innings with a 30-minute break between the 8th and 9th innings.

“Team practice has been progressing very well,” said LSU first-year coach Jay Johnson. “We really appreciate the fans coming out last Sunday; that was really impressive, and we’re looking forward to seeing them again this weekend. We’ll have one more week of fall practice after this weekend, so we’re looking to finish strong.

“The development of our pitching has been really encouraging; we walked two batters in 20 innings against UNO, and that’s a significant positive development. Limiting the free bases from the mound has been impressive, and I think we made two errors in 20 innings last weekend. I thought we handled the baseball really well, and when you’re limiting opportunities for the opponent like that, it’s really hard for them to score.”

The 2022 LSU baseball season begins on Feb. 18 when the Tigers host Maine.
