Auburn’s friendly competition between the defensive line and the defensive backfield is the result of veterans on the defense wanting to prioritize getting their hands on the football.“The game can’t be played without a ball,” Simpson said. With such an effort, Simpson is the first player since Jerraud Powers in 2007 to record an interception in three straight games. Simpson’s three interceptions also currently leads the nation.
Simpson caught the football at the Samford 34-yard line and went on to return it to the 22-yard line — giving the a short field to the Auburn offense, which only needed six plays to find the end zone. “It basically means you strap up... you’re strapping up a receiver,” Simpson explained after the seatbelt first made its appearance in post-game interviews after the game against UMass.
