Flag focus: Tigers work to eliminate penalties

Auburn's back at practice tonight, so we'll have an update as soon as the open viewing session begins at 4:40 p.m. CT. In the meantime, enjoy this story on the Tigers' penalty problems from last year, which they're making it a point to address this preseason. Here's how it starts:
AUBURN, Ala. -- Auburn’s offense had just put 82 points on the board during a scrimmage, as thorough a bashing of the defense as there’s been this August.

Yet offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn remained displeased afterward, the few penalties his group committed gnawing away at his even-keeled temperament.

“That ain’t good enough,” the perfectionist said, unable to forgive or forget the mistakes.

Tigers coaches have beaten the drum all offseason -- eliminate the penalties that were so damaging last year.

Auburn committed 97 penalties for 847 yards last season, ranking 103rd nationally. That’s 65.5 yards per game. Of the teams in the SEC, only Georgia committed more penalties for more yards.
