AUBURN --- With his arm — and his legs — Auburn quarterback Robby Ashford took center stage at Saturday's A-Day scrimmage.
The Oregon transfer and Hoover native finished 12-of-16 for 132 yards, en route to winning A-Day’s Lionel James Offensive MVP Award. He also rushed six times, and though he ran for a net minus-3 yards, he often extended plays with his legs, escaping the pocket several times.
While the redshirt freshman showed some flash, Harsin said Ashford should shine even more come fall. The quarterbacks did not play with contact at A-Day but Harsin said eluding real tacklers should be a strength for Ashford in game situations. “Him using his legs is going to be a key factor for us this year,” Finley said. “We might be able to get him in there and do some quarterback draws and things like that, so I can’t wait to see what he brings to the table in the fall.”
Freshman quarterback Holden Geriner also provided some late theatrics, finding tight end Landen King for a 19-yard touchdown pass with 24 seconds left to make the score 10-9. However, Geriner and Team Auburn couldn’t convert a two-point conversion for the win.
