Freeze Shakes Up Auburn’s Bye Week as Offensive Meltdown Triggers Full Reassessment

The coach is extending practice during the open week to target penalties, protection, third‑down failures and other breakdowns.

Overview

  • Auburn practiced on days normally off during a bye week as Hugh Freeze said the offensive staff is working through the break to correct issues before Georgia.
  • Freeze publicly accepted responsibility for the slide and vowed to reevaluate everything on offense after the 16-10 loss at Texas A&M.
  • The Tigers managed 177 yards at A&M with zero third-down conversions, continuing a trend of poor situational offense.
  • Auburn ranks last nationally in sacks allowed per game and is near the bottom in penalties, with 10 flags at A&M and a season rate among the worst in FBS.
  • The passing attack sits 110th in yardage as early-season rushing success faded against better opponents, a shift Freeze later conceded should have been handled differently.
