Tank Bigsby, Auburn give packed Jordan-Hare Stadium reason to celebrate By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 4-5 minutes Aug 31, 2021; Auburn, AL, USA; Tank Bigsby (4) runs for a touchdown between Auburn and Akron at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Shanna Lockwood/AU AthleticsShanna Lockwood/AU Athletics The roar of the crowd amplified as Tank Bigsby broke free early Saturday evening. Auburn’s star running back shed his strictly-business demeanor and, in atypical fashion, signaled the crowd to get louder. Bigsby was just inside the 20-yard line when he raised his right arm to pop the crowd and pumped his fist on the way to the end zone. It was an early celebration for an early score — a 32-yard touchdown run on Auburn’s opening drive against Akron — but Bigsby couldn’t help himself. He got caught up in the moment, but who could blame him, given the situation? “I was just very excited, you know?” Bigsby said. “First one of the season with my teammates. It was a big moment. It was a big moment for Auburn at the time. I just had the energy, and I just celebrated. I felt like I needed to celebrate, and I did.” Auburn had plenty to celebrate during its 60-10 win Saturday night. The Tigers’ were impressive in their season opener, ringing in the Bryan Harsin era in convincing fashion. The offense amassed 612 yards and averaged a first down every time it ran a play (10.6 yards per play), with quarterback Bo Nix looking comfortable and efficient in the new system, while Bigsby and fellow running back Jarquez Hunter each eclipsed the 100-yard mark on the ground. The defense was suffocating and feasted on an overmatched Akron offense, racking up 11 tackles for loss and six sacks for the night. Bigsby kicked things off with his 32-yard touchdown run on Auburn’s sixth play of the game. It ignited the crowd at Jordan-Hare Stadium, which was near capacity for the first time since the 2019 Iron Bowl. The program limited capacity to 20 percent last season due to health and safety protocols during the pandemic, and attendance was capped at 17,490 last fall. On Saturday night, 83,821 fans packed into Jordan-Hare Stadium. It was a few thousand short of a sellout, but it once again felt like a traditional gameday on the Plains. The student section showed up en masse two hours before kickoff, donned in white and as rowdy as ever. Even though the game was well in hand by halftime, fans stuck around until the final whistle, and the student section remained packed while providing the kind of buzzworthy environment that had been missing during the pandemic-impacted 2019 campaign. Harsin took it all in after the game. He received a Gatorade bath from Zakoby McClain and Smoke Monday after the final seconds ticked off the clock, and after embracing his family near midfield, he walked to the southeast corner of the field and saluted Auburn’s student section for bringing the energy throughout the night. “It was awesome to be out there and in front of this crowd,” Harsin said. “They had great energy. That’s something that we can’t simulate in practice, that environment, and it was awesome tonight. It was rocking all the way through the game. I appreciate the students; they stayed the entire time, great energy through the game…. The environment, the fans, just being out there in the stadium, I thought for our guys was exciting and for everybody on that sideline. We enjoyed that, we appreciate it, and it certainly helped aid in the win.”

T.D. Moultry finally delivers breakout performance Auburn knew he had in him By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-6 minutes Sep 4, 2021; Auburn, AL, USA; T.D. Moultry (99) and Zykeivous Walker (3) between Auburn and Akron at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Shanna Lockwood/AU AthleticsShanna Lockwood/AU Athletics Success has not come easy for T.D. Moultry the last few seasons. The former four-star Birmingham product, a top-100 recruit coming out of Jackson-Olin, had an impressive first season at Auburn, but his past three seasons have been mired by inconsistent efforts, untimely penalties and an inability to make a real impact for the Tigers’ defense. In Auburn’s season-opening 60-10 win against Akron, though, there was something different about the 6-foot-2, 253-pound edge defender. He looked different on the field for Auburn’s revamped defense under first-year coordinator Derek Mason. Moultry looked like his old self, and the result was the best single-game performance of his five-year career. Making his 50th appearance in an Auburn uniform, and in the first start of his career, Moultry finished with a team high-tying seven tackles, including three for a loss and a sack in a dominant defensive effort for the Tigers. “Man, it was amazing, because we all know he had it in him; he just had to let it out,” safety Smoke Monday said. “For him to go out there and do it, it shows how strong and tough he is. The fight from being a backup all these couple years, getting injured and stuff like that — for him to continue to work and keep pushing yourself every single day, to go out there and have a game like that it amazing.” Moultry spearheaded a smothering performance by Auburn’s new-look defensive front, which totaled 11 tackles for loss and six sacks on Saturday night. His three tackles for a loss led the team and were more than he had in the last two seasons combined, and his opening-game effort against the Zips also eclipsed his previous career-best for a season (2.5 tackles for loss each in 2017 and 2018). The seven tackles by Moultry in Week 1 also surpassed his season total from 2019, when he had just four stops on the year, and they nearly matched his nine total tackles for all of last season. “The defense overall, I thought those guys were getting to the ball,” Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. “We were flying around. We tackled well. I thought we tackled well. I thought we were relentless in our pursuit to get to the ball. And T.D., he’s a guy who, just talking about that consistency, he does that in practice. He does that in the weight room. He’s got that motor that I think we saw that tonight, and I think he was able to go out there and make plays.” That’s something that has eluded Moultry much of the last three seasons, as he has struggled to play up to the lofty expectations that followed him from high school or recreate the success he had as a true freshman — when he had 15 tackles, with 2.5 for a loss and 1.5 sacks in a rotational role along Auburn’s defensive line. He underwent a sophomore slump that was a result of an inconsistent performance throughout fall camp, and his production dipped despite seeing an increased role for the defense that year. Moultry was challenged by the previous coaching staff to be more reliable entering his junior season, but it never bore the kind of results the Tigers hoped for. After choosing to take advantage of the NCAA’s free year of eligibility thanks to the pandemic, Moultry knew it was now or never entering his fifth season. With a new coaching staff and a new position — the edge defender in Mason’s defense — that better suited his skillset, it was a prime opportunity for a fresh start for Moultry. So far, he has made the most of it. Better late than never. “T.D. is my guy,” fellow edge Derick Hall said. “He’s come along in a lot of different things. Just to see him be successful, I’m really happy for him… He’s definitely taken that next step to help push us in the right direction as a defense. I’m extremely excited and proud of him.” Moultry knew heading into the Akron game that he was going to have a chance to step up in a big way. He acknowledged Hall and Colby Wooden were the team’s two best defensive linemen heading into the season, which meant Akron’s focus would be on containing them — leaving a chance to free up opportunities for Moultry. The super senior delivered, not just showing improved effectiveness coming off the edge, but displaying some relentless pursuit when plays extended horizontally down the field. “He shows up every day,” Harsin said. “He’s obviously talented, and I think his motor, his effort, is something that separates him and why he had the kind of game he did tonight. I know he’ll continue that too, because that’s just who he is.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

Shedrick Jackson’s career game against Akron ‘a long time coming’ By Tom Green | tgreen@al.com 5-6 minutes Auburn receiver Shedrick Jackson (11) runs after a catch during the Tigers' 60-10 win against Akron on Saturday, Sept. 4, 2021 in Auburn, Ala. Todd Van Emst/AU AthleticsTodd Van Emst/AU Athletics Shedrick Jackson waited for this moment. The senior receiver has bided his time, battling injuries and the depth chart for the last three seasons, waiting for his opportunity to earn a featured role in Auburn’s passing game. It took longer than he hoped, but Saturday night in Auburn’s season opener against Akron, it finally arrived. Jackson caught a career-high five passes for a team-high 79 yards during the Tigers’ 60-10 win against the Zips, leading the way for a revamped, relatively inexperienced and unproven receiving corps in its first game in a new offensive system. “It’s been a long time coming,” Jackson said. “Just being set back by a bunch of injuries the past couple years and stuff like that. Just coming back here with full capacity and everything like that in the stadium, a new offense and a new coaching staff — it was a great time.” It was the first time in Jackson’s 29 career games that he led Auburn in receiving, as he and quarterback Bo Nix found a rhythm right out of the gate on Saturday night. Jackson was on the receiving end of each of Nix’s first two passes against Akron, the first going for 7 yards on the third offensive snap of the game, as Auburn converted its first third-down attempt of the evening. That was followed by a 9-yarder two plays later that resulted in another first down and set up Tank Bigsby’s 32-yard touchdown run to open the scoring for the Tigers. Jackson added three more receptions in the second quarter, including a 42-yarder to open up a drive in which the Tigers were backed up to their own 8-yard line. It was the longest reception of his career — even surpassing his best single-game yardage mark — and it sparked a six-play, 92-yard touchdown drive for Auburn. Each of Jackson’s five receptions resulted in a first down, and his 79 receiving yards surpassed his season totals from 2018 and 2019 while coming up just shy of his 2020 receiving total (six catches for 84 yards). “I was so happy because everyone knows Shed faced a lot of adversity since he’s been here with just injuries,” safety Smoke Monday said. “…It was just amazing to see him have that kind of game. And I know he had it in him the whole time; he just needed that one extra boost, and that’s what he got and went out and showed people he’s one of the best.” That extra boost came after an offseason in which Auburn lost each of its top-three receivers from last season. Seth Williams, Anthony Schwartz and Eli Stove all left for the NFL after last season, leaving an opportunity for multiple receivers to step up into more prominent roles in the Tigers’ offense. Jackson was the most veteran returning receiver on Auburn’s roster this offseason, but while he had 28 games and 11 career starts under his belt, he only boasted only 10 career catches for 130 yards and no touchdowns, as he was used more as a blocking receiver over the years. The Hoover native made the most of the opportunity in front of him, though, and despite being limited in spring with an undisclosed injury and missing some time due to a class scheduling conflict in the offseason, he earned one of the three starting receiver spots at the end of the preseason. “I’ve always been impressed with Shedrick,” Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. “I think he’s a leader. He has a level of maturity that makes him successful on and off the field, and we get to see that every single day. And I think he’ll continue. He’s one of those guys who will come to work every day and give you his very best. So, that consistency with him is really important.” That consistency showed in the season-opening win, as Jackson caught all five of his targets and was one of nine different Tigers to record at least one reception against the Zips. He wasn’t on the receiving end of one of Nix’s three touchdown passes, and his first career score has still eluded him, but Jackson emerged as the No. 1 option in an offense that he said feels tailor-made for several of Auburn’s skill players. It’s just about getting comfortable and making plays, which he did against Akron. Jackson’s breakout performance was worth the wait for the senior — and for his teammates. “If you see a guy like that go out there and give it his all, that just makes everyone want to go out there and give it all,” Monday said. “My hat’s off to him. He’s a great player, I’ve seen him play in high school. We came in together, and I know he’s one of those guys that can change the offense.” Tom Green is an Auburn beat reporter for Alabama Media Group. Follow him on Twitter @Tomas_Verde.

Virginia Tech some of those look weird. clemson ahead of ga after losing? and they have auburn at ten after being ranked in the thirties i believe? have i screwed up some how?

i really dislike their coach. some of his boys gator aided him brushing his glasses and he left an interview to chase them down and he was pissed.

coaching is everything. you can destroy a kids confidence doing the same ol stupid stuff. we know now maybe bo did not get the coaching he needed? maybe he needed more time to jell. regardless of your viewpoint he has improved. i sure am glad he believed in himself when others did not. let me say this again. i sure am glad he believed in himself when others did not. this is not to say he will not struggle some or have a rough game but right now he is looking much better. now he has a good chance to step out of his fathers shadow and make his own noise. and we have seen glances. and if he continues to improve and comes back for another year? with all the stuff to worry about in this day in time auburn football should not be another worry like the last year.

this is what i want for our boys when we go up for the white out.....................

i just typed in a search for auburn football on the radio on computer. i had several selections and had to change once because the first selection kept going out on me. no apps. free. great station. i am sure someone has already answered you but just in case.................

i cannot stand their coach. they say he killed a man making him go up high on some kind of scissor deck to film during a storm or something. in this day and time it might be fake news but i remember someone telling coach it was too dangerous? i am sure someone will straighten me out on this but i never found an article saying it was bull either.

thanx for posting! i posted all the video's i could find and i guess it was still a work in progress or something.

i think harsin is not the type of coach to do stupid stuff so we have a decent chance but they get fired up for those white out games and it seems to elevate their play.

you think auburn can beat them down there this year?

last night i listened to the game on the radio on the computer and i think that is most fun i have had had listening to an auburn. it was badly needed.

this set of highlights is about seven minutes longer than the first i posted.

i wonder how many of these cats that played a lot of ball are on pain management? and cleo he was a great player. it always shocks me when a player dies young because i always expect them to still be in some kind of decent shape. if he was getting pain relief on the streets i am told they have fake oxy's with fenatanyl which killed tom petty and prince.

wow. who would have thought gus would have a game thread on the fam? i wonder if he has his special table ar wafffle house down there? lol best of luck to ya gus until we meet again and then i hope we hand kick off in that behind.

maybe he took that next step under harsin and the new line coach? how often has he played hurt? i trust cubelic to know more about it than i do. more people have come out and praised several members on our line so maybe they just needed coaching up?

i was glad to see gus go but i refuse to berate the man the rest of his life or mine. gus did some great things and some not so great things. i wish him well. has anyone not noticed like baby bowden and tubs and who got fired from auburn with all the hate and the anger to my knowledge gus has not said one bad thing about auburn. i cherish his help with the natty and almost winning another one. i cherish the wins over bama. i wish him well. and as all those holier than thou jawja fans running their mouth i personally loved when the said 'we beat the dog crap out of em'. he did not just decide one day to say i believe i am gonna screw auburn this weekend .His paranoia, his stubbornness, and all the faults he had were all human faults and not him trying to hurt auburn. all big time coaches face enormous pressure and at auburn with our good ol boys i do believe it is worse.muschamp said he would not be back and the same can be said for mr rocker who refuses to coach at his own alma mater. there is a reason for this. our boosters and money guys meddle too much. and like the other person said in this thread people are mad because he excepted his contract which set him up for life. anyone would be a fool to turn that down. some of you can hate gus all you want but i wish him well. and i am glad he is gone before anyone cracks different on here. but i refuse to hate a man who fell short.
