AUBURN, Ala. -- If you’ve been around Auburn’s players this spring or around the athletic complex, you’ve probably stumbled across TnT XIII.

Garrett, Wright and Kris Frost helped the Blue team to a big win in the A-Day game.

It’s Auburn’s new slogan for the 2014 season.

“It’s having toughness and being together,” junior Justin Garrett said. “That’s the philosophy of winning in the SEC and trying to go back and win the whole thing. You’ve got to be tough and you’ve got to be together and you’ve got to be a team and go out there and be physical on Saturdays.”

That’s the first part of the slogan, Tough-n-Together. The second part is the roman numeral 13, which is for the winning touchdown Florida State scored with 13 seconds left in the BCS National Championship game in January.

“We’ve got to get 13 seconds better,” Garrett said. “Whatever you do, you’ve got to get better. In practice to your steps to your coverage to whatever you’re doing, you try to get 13 seconds better than you were last year.”

The slogan came about during winter workouts. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn brought the seniors together and the idea came from defensive tackle Gabe Wright.

“Everybody bought into it and everybody liked the idea and everybody embraced it,” Garrett said.

Whether it’s on a wristband or a t-shirt or just spoken out loud, TnT XIII will be a motivational tool as the players go through demanding summer workouts and then start preseason practice in August.

“I think everybody knows that last year we really got that physical edge back and they saw that we were 13 seconds away from winning it all,” senior Quan Bray said. “That means a lot. That means a lot to us.”
