So a TD equals 6 right?
There won’t be any need for extra explanation of the scoring system used at this year’s A-Day game.
The Tigers will break up into two separate teams and play football like the founders envisioned, with the only points coming from touchdowns, extra points, field goals and safeties.
“We’re trying to make it as competitive as we can,” wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor said. “It’s not just going to be 1s on 1s or 1s on 2s.
We’re going to mix it up.”
Taylor said the only aspect that needs to be ironed out is special teams, where players will likely have to flip back and forth.
Last year, Auburn used an elaborate point system that pitted the offense versus the defense. Special teams, particularly field goal kicks, was largely an afterthought at the end of the scrimmage.

Chizik is warning you ESPN.
There promise to be a few more cameras than normal for Saturday’s A-Day game at Jordan-Hare Stadium, but Gene Chizik said he won’t let ESPN affect his plan for the fan-friendly scrimmage.
Chizik said Monday he has yet to determine a format for the game, as far as whether he wants the first-team offense and defense to ever be on the field at the same time, and he’s yet to settle on a scoring system.
Regardless, the 1 p.m. kick, which will air live on ESPNU (Charter Cable Channel 302 in Lee County), will be more affected by the health of
Auburn’s personnel than it will by all the other stuff.
“We’re going to just run our offense, run our defense,” Chizik said. “The fact that we’ll have a lot of recruits there and will be on TV, that won’t necessarily change what we’re trying to accomplish.”

Auburn’s A-Day game is going global.
The Worldwide Leader, ESPN, will be picking up a live feed of Auburn’s A-Day game and will broadcast it to the masses on ESPNU.
The game is set for Saturday, April 17, with a 1 p.m. kickoff.
This announcement comes one day after ESPN declared it would televise National Champion Alabama’s spring game. The games are set for the same day, with Alabama’s kicking off one hour later.
Perhaps this will force Gene Chizik to go by a normal scoring system. Last year’s, which rewarded points to the offense and defense for just about everything, probably wouldn’t be TV-friendly.
