A - Day 2023

 A - DAY


It’s raining in Auburn as it is in Pelham.  I watch the game on ESPN +.  Cold and rainy.  Coach Freeze says they were going to air it out but not on this rainy day.  Before the scrimmage he wants to see assignment football and effort.  The game is structured with the defense up 24 to 

0 so the offense has to score more than 24 to win.


FIRST QUARTER


The offense scores on its first possession all on the ground with one pass batted down.  Robbie Ashford looks quick scrambling just like last year running for the touchdown.  On the other hand, not much defense.


24 - 7


Hunter and Alston are noticeable but Sean Jackson looks tough.  TOUGH day for passing and it shows.  All running so far.  You are not going any passing today whether the weather of it’s just not there.


END OF FIRST QUARTER


Short FG on the last play of the second half.


24 - 10


Sean Jackson looks a bona fide power runner.  We’ve got four talented running backs.

One nice Ashford completion to Dawson.  Ashford certainly looks like the fall starting QB.


END OF SECOND QUARTER


The scrimmage moves quickly with 10 minute quarters and seldom clock stoppages.


THIRD QUARTER


24-13


24-21


No fourth quarter


COMPETITIVE  GAME


LAST PLAY OF THE GAME FG
