GUS MALZAHN said these things per al.com
-- Team had 100-plus play scrimmage, with about 40 plays apiece for first- and second-teamers. It was a 75/25 run/pass split.
-- Cord Sandberg and Joey Gatewood both went live.
-- Younger running backs rotated behind Kam Martin. Was a good opportunity to get information on the running backs and help establish a pecking order, though there were a couple of fumbles.
-- Calvin Ashley practiced.
-- Jack Driscoll hasn't solidified the starting job at right tackle yet, so competition is ongoing with him and Austin Troxell.
-- Mike Horton continues to alternate between center and right guard.
-- There was a scoop-and-score defensive touchdown on the third-team defense.
-- Both punters went live and saw pressure, which was good. Good battle going on.
-- Injury updates: Daquan Newkirk and Nick Brahms both got some individual work and one-on-one opportunities. Malzahn was "encouraged" to see those guys. No updated timetable for Will Hastings and Eli Stove.
-- Possible to have situational punting? "I think anything's possible, but I'm not ready to say that yet."
-- Ian Shannon "getting a lot of work" as backup to Anders Carlson.
-- "Huge focus" is improving kickoff coverage, which Auburn was very bad at last season.
-- Along with Chandler Cox and JaTarvious Whitlow, Malzahn says two other guys are getting some Wildcat reps -- but he won't say who.
-- Ian Shannon, Arryn Siposs and Cord Sandberg are all getting looks at holder.
-- Coynis Miller "has a skill set" but they're trying to get him in shape so he can get on the field early this season.
-- Last two practices of fall camp, before classes start next week, will be a lot of situational work. May do a scrimmage for the younger players on Sunday if they feel they need more info.
-- Takeo Spikes and Charles Barkley both spoke to the team this week, challenged them to take the next step. "It was a special time, it really was." Gene Chizik also started off camp speaking to the team.
-- Planning a movie night and rookie night, maybe some bowling and stuff. Fall camp "has been good so far, but we got to finish this thing -- finish it and build a foundation for this first game."

So the 3rd team defense fumbled and somebody picked it up and scored?

** Good day. Long scrimmage. Extremely hot. Guys had to fight through. Over 100 plays. Ones and twos close to 40 plays each. Live field goal, two-minute situations, 75-85 percent run.

** Gatewood and Sandberg were both live today. Cord did a good job protecting the football.

** Really good info on OL. Big day for the RB. Close to having two-deep figured out.

** No major injuries was a plus in physical scrimmage.

** Had two RBs put ball on ground. Everybody had a chance to carry the ball today.

** Most of the young guys got about 10 carries including Harold Joiner. Devan Barrett did a little of both but played more WR today. He's really starting to develop into a good WR.

** Close to settling on starting OL.

** Kaleb Kim getting a lot of reps, you can tell he's improved. Mike Horton did not get reps at center today, just right guard.

** Jack Driscoll and Austin Troxell both got equal opportunities to work with first-team at right tackle today.

** Some of the young WRs got reps with the ones today.

** Defense playing extremely well. Expectations are high.

** The three D had a scoop and score.

** Harold Joiner is coming along. Playing slot WR and has ability to run the ball. Very versatile.

** Did live punt today. Good battle going on.

** Daquan Newkirk and Nick Brahms both got individual and 1-on-1 work this week. Could return this week.

** Anders Carlson has had a good camp so far. Did well in live field goals today. Kicked well this week. Ian Shannon also doing well as backup.

** Whitlow, Cox and two other guys are rotating at Wildcat. Still looking at it, haven't settled on who it would be. Won't reveal who other two are. Not sure how much they will use Wildcat.

** Coyniss Miller has got a skill set. Just trying to get him into shape. He's pushing everyday.

** Will focus on special situations the last couple of days of camp. School starts Monday. May have a young guy scrimmage on Sunday.

** Charles Barkley and Takeo Spikes did super jobs talking to team. Challenged guys to take the next step. Special time, great Auburn men.

** Will have movie night, rookie night, bowling coming up for players. Been a good fall camp but got to finish.

   ** A lot of downhill running. Very physical, very good for team.
  
   ** Shaun Shivers and JaTarvious Whitlow both had TD runs.
  
   ** Big stepping stone for offense today.
  
   ** Just likes watching Shivers, so physical and fast. Good kid. Does all the right things. Going to be a big-time player for us.
  
   ** Jarrett Stidham has grown tremendously from last year. Leader of this team. Excited for him. Taken a huge step from last year.
  
   ** He thinks walk-on Sam Sherrod had scoop and score today for 3rd team D.
  
   ** Harold Joiner has done very well. He's catching balls and is physical too. Going to help out as a true freshman. Has body type to be an H-back but not sure what his future will hold. Playing mostly WR now.
  
   ** Seth Williams is good. Making tremendous catches, one-handed grabs. All the freshmen WRs are doing very well. Fun to watch Flash run (Schwartz).
  
   ** On Cox-Cat -- I'm excited about it. Not going to do any of that spinning stuff. Will do whatever coaches ask. Whitlow very versatile, picks things up easily.
  
   ** Spencer Nigh has done very well as a backup H-Back. Want to be very physical as a group.
  
   ** Thinks offense has taken huge step from spring.
  
   ** Cord Sandberg good fit for Auburn, always on I-Pad learning offense. Told Chandler "it felt good" to get hit for the first time in about six years today.We also talked with Jeremiah Dinson, Nate Craig-Myers and Javaris Davis, but they split them up around the room. Not much breaking news but Dinson said his shoulder is good and he's ready to hit now, they're just keeping the orange jersey on for precautionary reasons.

Dear Lord baby Jesus, lyin' there in your ghost manger, just lookin' at your Baby Einstein developmental videos, learnin' 'bout shapes and colors.  Please let Joiner pack on another 15lbs of muscle, make his hands smoother than a Tijuana Hooker and allow him to play the enforcer role that Eric Smith played in 2010.

Tijuana Hooker hands are not that soft....just saying.

I'll tell my lies how I want to.

Well, not the male prostitutes' hands anyway.

[Godfather]

Well, not the male prostitutes' hands anyway.

Oh, all right. Well, first, I want you to tongue my bung, while you juggle my balls in one hand, and play with my asshole with the other, but don't stick you're finger in. Then I want to pinky you while I stick in your fuckin' friend's brown, while Uncle Sani watches, and fuckin' spanks it in a Dixie cup. After that, I want to smell your titties for a while, and you can pull my nutsack up over my dick so it looks like a bullfrog. Then I want you to fuckin' flick my nuts while your friend spanks me off in the same Dixie cup that Uncle Sani jizzed in. Then, we throw the Dixie cup out.
