Overview

• Hugh Freeze called the Texas A&M loss one of the worst offensive experiences of his career and said responsibility starts with the staff.
• Auburn’s self-scout during the open week targeted protection, penalties and third‑down execution after allowing 21 sacks in five games and converting 3 of 28 third downs in two SEC losses.
• Freeze said Izavion Miller will see time in the starting rotation as coaches adjust personnel following repeated issues up front.
• Wideout Horatio Fields is sidelined with a recovery timeline of roughly 6–8 weeks, with the rest of the roster largely available.
• Freeze hopes Jordan‑Hare’s setting boosts performance against Georgia and notes the showcase value for recruiting, stressing the need to finally clear the winning hump.
