Summary

Auburn Tigers' offensive woes take center stage. Is Hugh Freeze's stubbornness derailing the team's potential? Host Zac Blackerby and guest Ben Taylor dissect Auburn's struggling offense, focusing on Freeze's questionable play-calling and quarterback Jackson Arnold's performance issues. The duo explores whether scheme adjustments or personnel changes are needed to revitalize the Tigers' attack. They debate the impact of Freeze's pass-first mentality on the offensive line and skill positions, questioning if a return to Auburn's run-heavy roots could spark a turnaround. Tune in for an in-depth analysis of Auburn's offensive struggles and potential solutions to get the Tigers back on track.

0:42.7

you changes need to be made to the offense but first things first like Hugh Freeze uh the stubbornness

0:49.6

has really taken kind of the lead when amongst the Auburn fan base when you talk about the

problems in the offense like clearly something needs to change he keeps saying that hey like you
