The Auburn Tigers have come to life early in their season-opening contest against the Alabama A&M Bulldogs at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

The Tigers scored touchdowns on all three of their opening drives, two of them came on long touchdown passes from Payton Thorne on the first play of the drive.

Auburn’s third touchdown was a special one, however, as five-star wide receiver signee Cam Coleman made his first touchdown reception. Thorne delivered a 44-yard pass to Coleman on the first play of Auburn’s third drive to extend Auburn’s lead to 21-0.
