TIGER TALK

-- Malzahn said he left practice just 20 minutes ago and the team has completed the main preparation. "We're ready to go... We asked our guys to turn it up a notch this week."

-- Auburn spent fall camp "worried about us."

-- Malzahn says "the young guys" will have a chance to be on the field Saturday.

-- Malzahn believes the team is fairly healthy heading into the season opener. "Everybody's going to be ready to go."

-- First fan question of the night comes from Kim, who asks if former Mississippi State star Dak Prescott is similar to Clemson's Deshaun Watson. Malzahn: "First of all they're both great quarterbacks. I think Deshaun's a little bit different. You have to worry about the run, you have to worry about the pass.. We're playing against one of the better quarterbacks in the country."

-- How does Malzahn know if he's developing leadership? "Your players start being accountable for each other... they're an extension of the coaches and they take charge of the team."

-- Fan requests that Malzahn defers to Clemson if Auburn wins the coin toss so his team can "embarrass and shame the Clemson offense right out of the gate."

-- Malzahn says the defense is looking forward to the challenge.

-- "There are a lot of similarities" between Auburn and Clemson's offenses.

-- Malzahn says Clemson RB Wayne Gallman "gets overlooked a lot."

-- Auburn's quarterback race was "close." Malzahn praises Sean White's performance last season and feels he's improved now that he's healthy. "He's a tough guy... he earned the job and our team's ready for him to lead us out there... Looking forward to seeing what he can do this year."

-- White has "stepped into more of a leadership role" as the starter and has been able to get his timing down with the first team since being named the guy.

-- "Usually the first game of the year special teams has a lot of impact plays." Malzahn references the 2010 Auburn-Clemson game that was won on a missed field goal in overtime.

-- Could Sean White and John Franklin III line up in the backfield at the same time? "I thought about just about everything," Malzahn jokes. "I just don't know if we're going to do it. I think about football 24/7."

-- Freshman quarterback Woody Barrett everything Auburn expected, but still needs to develop within the system after arriving in the summer. "Right now he's a little bit down in the depth chart," Malzahn said. "But he's impressed us with his running ability and he's good throwing the football... We think he's going to be an excellent quarterback."

-- Fellow QB John Franklin III "competed hard" in the race. "Great kid. It's important to him. He really got the respect of his teammates... We'll see what happens."

-- Malzahn praises Austin Golson's versatility after moving from center to left tackle. "Austin's a very smart player" he says.

-- Goals for offense this season? "I'm a football coach and that's what I enjoy doing. I've been a lot more involved... we just need to get back to playing good, Auburn offense and playing fast with explosive plays... Last year we kind of didn't look like ourself."

-- Malzahn says new staff members Kodi Burns and Travis Williams, both former Auburn players, have "everything it takes" to be head coaches one day.

-- Jimmy asks which freshman has the best chance to make an impact Saturday. "I'm always cautious to point out any one guy. I will say this -- there will be a whole lot of true freshman out on that field Saturday."

-- Malzahn says the wide receiver spot will be "a position of strength in the future." Auburn signed three of the nation's top 20 receivers in the 2016 recruiting class, according to the 247Sports rankings.

-- Freshman Marlon Davidson, who earned a start at defensive end, "caught our eye early. He doesn't act like a freshman. He's a mature guy... he really just took that spot ad didn't let anybody else get in front of him... he's one of the many we feel pretty good about."
