Auburn football's A-Day to feature different scoring rules

Auburn fans have been used to team blue facing off against team orange or white during A-Day, the Tigers' annual spring game.

This year, things are going to be a little different.

Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze explained during a press conference on Monday that the Tigers would be scoring and running A-Day differently; the defense would start with a set amount of points, with the offense's goal to score and whittle that number down, with the goal of taking the lead before the scrimmage is over.

The Tigers' social media team decided to drop a video explaining the scrimmage setup in further detal.

Offensive lineman Jeremiah Wright walked fans through the entire A-Day schedule and then explained the rules of the spring game:

- The defense will start up 24-0, with the offense's goal to score and eventually take the lead.

- The scrimmage will be timed on a 60-minute running clock. No quarters, no halftime.

- Freeze also noted in the press conference that drives will be situational and he will start them wherever he chooses.

- There will be no weird point system. Touchdowns (plus extra points) and field goals will count as seven and three points as usual. There are no points for interceptions or fumbles.

The new format should make for a more interesting spring game - at the very least, more interesting than the last two.
