Even though the temperature is still in the mid-90s, it’s officially football season in Auburn.
After a walkthrough Monday, the Tigers hit the practice fields at the Football Performance Center for their first full-speed work of Alabama A&M week.
Media members were allowed to watch nearly an hour of practice, starting with the usual individual drills and continuing into some heated 11-on-11 action.
Before that, a collection of veteran players — quarterback Payton Thorne, tight end Brandon Frazier, offensive guard Jeremiah Wright, defensive back Champ Anthony, cornerback Keionte Scott and safety Jerrin “Bug” Thompson — had game week interviews.
With this being the last scheduled media availability of game weeks for Auburn, we’re going to plan on posting these No-Huddle Notes from what we saw in practice and heard from the interviews on Tuesday evenings throughout the season. Let’s get to it.
Hugh Freeze said Monday that he wanted to see how linebacker Austin Keys (MCL sprain) and cornerback Keionte Scott (hamstring) went through practices Tuesday and Wednesday before making a decision on their availability for Saturday’s game. Good news: Both of them were full participants in practice.
