Auburn’s head coach thought things went well defensively against Alabama A&M.
“Defensively, I thought the effort was really, really good,” Freeze said. “I thought they ran to the football. I thought we tackled fairly well, and we were 9-of-14 three-and-outs. We limited the explosive plays. So I thought all of that was positive.”
“We rotated a lot of guys in there and thought they were solid against the run,” Freeze said. “We didn’t crush the pocket quite as well. We didn’t call too many pressures really early on and they were getting rid of the ball pretty fast, but it wasn’t as bad as I maybe felt postgame. But I thought the inside guys played really well. I continue to see six to seven guys in there, I hope.”
“We’ve got some improving to do,” Freeze said. “We can’t panic and get so handsy. Be patient. Stay in your technique and go play the ball. I thought there were a few good ones. JC Hart had a really good one, unfortunately he didn’t get it and he was beating himself up pretty good. But one thing I’ll say about him, he had that and turned around and went and made the tackle that saved them from scoring and we held them out of the endzone.
