Overview
- Auburn is 3-4 overall and 0-4 in SEC play after four straight losses, with the offense among the league’s lowest in scoring and yardage.
- Freeze told reporters that a public show of support from John Cohen "would be huge" and reiterated that he believes he can fix the program.
- Jackson Arnold remains the expected starter, but Freeze says Arnold and Stanford transfer Ashton Daniels are sharing extensive practice reps and that Daniels is prepared to play.
- Arkansas interim coach Bobby Petrino said his defense is preparing primarily for Arnold, noting Auburn’s offensive struggles against an otherwise strong Tigers run defense.
- A five-star commit, Bralan Womack, criticized Auburn’s offense after the Missouri loss before clarifying his support, as reports describe booster talks about Freeze’s future and Paul Finebaum urges a coaching change if Auburn loses at Arkansas.
