Overview
- Hugh Freeze called the Texas A&M defeat one of the worst offensive experiences of his career and said the staff must fix the problems.
- The team tested left tackle Xavier Chaplin during the open week, and Freeze said a hearing issue was found that affects him in loud environments.
- Auburn has allowed an FBS-high 21 sacks with frequent penalties, contributing to a 3-for-28 third-down mark in SEC play and zero conversions at Texas A&M.
- Freeze said Miller will enter a heavier rotation on the offensive line after the self-scout, though Tuesday’s practice kept most first-team spots intact.
- Coaches and players signaled a stronger commitment to first- and second-down rushing after backs logged only eight carries at Texas A&M, with Georgia visiting Saturday at Jordan-Hare (6:30 p.m. CT, ABC).
