Auburn football passed another mile marker in its new era under Bryan Harsin on Thursday afternoon, when the Tigers hit the field for their first scrimmage of 2021 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Harsin didn’t give many details about what all went down in the scrimmage itself, outside of a few players who stood out and some turnover information. This was a time to lay the foundation for more specific work ahead, and he got an expected mixed bag of results.
