Are you ready for some spring football! Well, if you are, you'll have to wait a little bit longer still. Please be patient.

Auburn moved its annual A-Day game back from March 28 to April 18 at 2 p.m. EST.

The Tigers are tentatively scheduled to start spring practice March 24.

“Moving A-Day to mid-April will allow the football staff more time to evaluate each player so that we have a better idea of where we are as a team headed into spring practice,” Auburn head coach Gene Chizik said. “The later start will also give our players an additional month of winter conditioning to prepare for the contact period. We appreciate the fan’s understanding and support, and look forward to seeing them at A-Day.”
