-- The first spring practice in

Gus Malzahn

's rebuilding task at Auburn ended on Wednesday with a practice designed to wrap things up and correct technique and scheme mistakes from Auburn's final two scrimmages before the Tigers head into the summer.

Now, Auburn's coaches will buckle down and evaluate the roster with the goal of establishing a two-deep depth chart before Malzahn comes back for another interview next week to completely wrap up the spring.

Moments after the Tigers wrapped up their 15th and final practice on Wednesday, Malzahn has been pleased with Auburn's ability to adapt to the new coaching staff and put the problems of last season in the past.

"The big thing for me was to bring our team together and to play together, to get our edge back, to get that mental toughness, and we've improved," Malzahn said. "I like where we're at right now as far as our attitude."

Auburn's coaching staff has focused on getting players to put mistakes in the past and bounce back from adversity.

Too many times last season, turnovers and mistakes snowballed against Auburn.

"If you make a bad play, you have to hold your head high on the next play," tight end

Brandon Fulse

said. "He inspires us.

From the time Auburn's coaching staff wrapped up National Signing Day until now, the Tigers' coaches have been focused on burying the remnants of the 2012 season and turning players' attention to 2013.

Beginning with the winter workout program, team-building activities in March and now spring practice, Auburn's players are excited about what the future holds, particularly after learning new offensive and defensive schemes on both sides of the ball.

Auburn's coaching staff has also made it clear that past results and production plays no role in the Tigers' current evaluation.

Asked to practice at Malzahn's pace -- actually faster than the Tigers would play in a game -- Auburn struggled to adjust at first, then fully adjusted halfway through spring practice.

"It’s a lot of fun, it’s real fast," quarterback

Jonathan Wallace

said. "The guys are buying into this system, and that’s the biggest thing – having guys buy into the system, and just willing to work hard and put in extra work to be successful."

On both sides of the ball, offensive coordinator

Rhett Lashlee

and defensive coordinator

Ellis Johnson

focused on installing the base concepts of the scheme, allowing players to soak in the fundamentals before both coordinators begin to expand the playbook in the fall.

Auburn's 15th and final practice was designed to make sure the Tigers head into the offseason with a full grasp of how they're supposed to play."

"We even went back to the first of spring," Malzahn said. "We wanted to make sure our guys fully understood the base offense, the defense, and the techniques so they can actually get better this summer when they work on their own instead of developing bad habits."

And the players got a boost

, a show of support that left players and coaches alike deeply impressed by the fan base.

"They ought to be very encouraged, very motivated," Malzahn said. "The teams that are successful and win, they find a way over the summer."
