Summary

Auburn Tigers escape Arkansas with a defensive masterpiece, but the offensive dysfunction has Hugh Freeze's hot seat reaching critical temperature. Can the Tigers survive their quarterback crisis? Zac Blackerby breaks down Auburn's troubling victory that exposed glaring offensive limitations—just one touchdown against one of college football's worst defenses. The conversation with Locked on College Football's Lance Dawe examines the Jackson Arnold versus Ashton Daniels quarterback controversy, exploring why Arnold's struggles have wasted an elite defensive unit. Key topics include potential coaching change scenarios involving defensive coordinator DJ Durkin, comparisons to Baylor's Dave Aranda and Boise State's Spencer Danielson situations, and the upcoming gauntlet against Kentucky, Vanderbilt, and Alabama. The discussion reveals why middle-of-the-pack quarterback play would have Auburn undefeated right now, and addresses genuine concerns about fan reaction if Arnold starts at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Discover why this win might have actually hurt Auburn's long-term trajectory and what comes next for Hugh Freeze's future on The Plains.
