Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze reacts to a call during the second half of an NCAA football game against Georgia, Saturday, Sept. 30, 2023, in Auburn, Ala. This, by Hugh Freeze’s own designation, is season two for Auburn in 2023. Season one, Auburn’s head coach said before playing Georgia, consists of the games leading up the team’s bye week.
Freeze did not delve into the specifics of self-scouting his own team, but he did describe tendencies he’s keyed in on. Freeze described repeated coverage habits for his defense on third down coming off a game against Georgia where Auburn allowed conversions of eight of the 13 third downs it faced. The struggle to get off the field allowed Georgia to come back to win the game.
At this midway point between Auburn’s season one and season two, the offense is still ranked at the bottom of the conference in multiple statistics. It is second to last in the SEC in total offense, last in passing offense, last in passing efficiency, 11th in scoring and second to last in first downs made.For all the struggles, Freeze said a philosophy change is not coming. It’s hard to change dramatically within the season.
Freeze didn’t dive into specifics either of what he saw on film for his defense, but he did note the number of injuries on defense — a point where the week off comes in especially handy to get healthy, or at least healthier.
