Freeze broke down Cal's offensive strengths and how the defense is preparing for Saturday's game
Peter Rauterkus | [email protected], but there were still aspects of Auburn’s defensive performance against Alabama A&M that didn’t satisfy head coach Hugh Freeze.“I was a little shocked that we didn’t crush the pocket a little better,” Freeze said after the game.
Blocton, Keldric Faulk and Jalen McLeod were the three players to record sacks on Saturday. Much of Auburn’s pressure came off the edge and Blocton’s sack came with help from defensive end Amaris Williams.Freeze continues to reiterate that he wants six to seven defensive linemen to rotate on the interior going forward. However,
Freeze called Ott “one of the best in the country,” when speaking on the SEC Coaches Teleconference Wednesday. While he did exit Cal’s Week 1 game early,Cal’s passing offense serves as another test for Auburn’s defense. The secondary made a few mistakes in coverage against Alabama A&M, most notable being a dropped interception by JC Hart that resulted in a 56-yard completion.
Who plays for Auburn in the secondary isn’t completely decided either, according to Freeze. Outside of safety Jerrin Thompson and starting corners Keionte Scott and Kayin Lee, Freeze said they’re still figuring out who the best players are in the secondary.
