Hugh Freeze Has No Idea Who He'll Start?

[@jvilletiger]

Hank didn’t need to be pulled. He was moving the offense, just needs to clean up the missing the read on zone coverage a few times.

[@gradyhayes8570]

Hank will be fine moving forward. Sadly it may be somewhere like Oregon.

[@justcurious6776]

Exactly Thorne has had a million opportunities but Hank has only one half to make mistakes. To short of a leash for a red shirt freshman

[@autk]

Pat Dye would never have benched a redshirt freshman QB in his first start in the SEC down 7-0, doubt that Tubbs would have either, it was the wrong move and an incomplete start, maybe if you're trailing 21-0 at the end of 3...HF panicked, pure and simple after repeatedly going down with the ship with PT last season and against Cal, indefensible.

[@CoreyUnderwood-m9s]

I gotta say 3 picks in one half is rough guys

[@jvilletiger]

@@CoreyUnderwood-m9s yeah, even though 1 clearly wasn’t an INT

[@lewismw]

Solid perspectives here, I think some of the freak plays, tip balls have got to eventually go our way. Like Charlie said the law of averages and numbers can't keep going negative. We're moving the ball, iron out a few mistakes and we win

[@merlin3896]

Go live with the qbs at practice, force them to speed up their clocks, or answer to Keldric Faulk!

[@autk]

Sounds good but you can't, we're so thin you could wreck the rest of the season in case of injury

[@RobertHall-mq7ze]

@@autk BS. We were live every day in HS football. You're either prone to injury or you're not. You do have to be smart and not take a cheap shot or blow your teammate up in a bad spot, but tackling normally isn't a risk. Oh yeah, the season is already wrecked, so you got nothing to lose.

[@jamesgerg9587]

Hank was performing well, but lack of run plays and RB screens resulted in predictable WR routes to be jumped. Hank should have started 2nd half. Damari is more explosive than Jarquez.

[@xabierjones5749]

Absolutely bro I’m not sure why he gave up on Hank so quickly after giving Payton 2 years to shit the bed

[@ogdank396]

I just feel that there is still a slim chance we get this thing turned around in time to save the season

[@NamelessMessenger4547]

Freeze needs to address the defense. Allowing a 57 yard touchdown on 3rd & 19 is unacceptable. Prevent defense is never good. Reminds me of the total failure against Alabama last year.

[@bingo2069]

I wonder could they use the quarterback transfer from California? Great show!

[@georgepotter353]

No changes needed. Ok. Wish Jarquez and Damari would go up to him in practice and say "coach, put your phone down and watch what we can do".

[@FRWHELAN]

What about more read-option with Thorne. Pull out the old film of Nick Marshall.

[@koolbreeze007]

Or have those packages for Sam Jackson...

[@autk]

PT doesn't hold the smallest candle to Nick Marshall

[@G_hargrove251]

I genuinely hope that geriner gets a shot at this as well. Freeze made this mistake last season by not giving Robbie an honest chance last season and the only way to truly find out what you have in Holden is to put him on the field. In my opinion, I’d much rather them play him or even Walker vs marching Thorne out there expecting a different result.

[@autk]

Holden has been lost in every appearance in a real football game going back to 22, practice hero game day zero.

[@G_hargrove251]

@@autk he got in on short notice and not prepared as the starter. We don’t know what could happen with more preparation and we’ll never find out unless we play him with a fair opportunity. What does AU have to lose?

[@georgepotter353]

Robbie spent 6 years in college on multiple teams. He hasn't won a starting spot yet. He's a runner. That's it.

[@G_hargrove251]

@@georgepotter353 let’s be real now, Robbie didn’t get a fair shot at qb1 for Auburn. That’s is a fact, not just my opinion. I believe he’s better than Thorne and we would 3-1 or 4-0 with him as qb1. Now as far as Holden geriner, those same things that’s happened to Robbie is happening to him as well. You’ll never know what a player can be unless you give them a fair shot with proper preparation.

[@dr7820]

This is an easy evaluation. Hank is the starter. They both throw INTs but at least Hank can hit the deep ball. PT under throws all vertical routes and turns TDs into possession catches.

[@dukelynch6973]

If we go with PT, we need to be a run heavy offense. 4-man rb rotation, until the defense puts 8 guys in the box to stop it. The run to pass ratio needs to be completely lopsided until the qbs can start reading the defenses more properly.

[@buddyskinner1633]

What’s going to happen when Oklahoma puts 7-8 in the box in the beginning? Oklahoma and Coach Venable are going to have a bunch of different looks to take advantage of Payton and Hank’s very average quarterback play.

[@dukelynch6973]

@buddyskinner1633 If and when Oklahoma stacks the box, we then have one on one match ups on the outsides. I like our odds with KLS and CC vs there db's on 1v1. Regardless, we have to run the ball effectively against this team because if they take that away, it's going to be another long game for AU quarterbacks.

[@jerrystatic256]

When you struggle passing you run twice as much! 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@gruntusmc1943]

Freeze is gonna go with Thorne against Oklahoma. He will give us a better chance for running the ball with rpo’s. No turnovers and we win this game. Defense will hold OK to 3 scores max.

[@slimmdusty8809]

The problem is yeah we can run the ball a lot more 25 times a game to 30. But if you do that we become one dimensional and teams will just lock in on that and force us to pass. So yeah running the ball more sounds great but it’s not going to win us games or salvage the season. There just isn’t a possible solution to this problem on offense, the only one was getting a serviceable QB and we didn’t.

[@robertguy6479]

Maybe it's time to just play the young guys like Cobb and White.

[@evansjohnc]

We should play the players now who give us the chance to win every game. Brown or White probably won't ever be our quarterback next season.

[@brucevaughn3429]

REALLY! Is this the guy to lead Auburn Football in the near future?

[@buddyskinner1633]

It’s going to take some more time to get the right players in place for Auburn to show results on the field. Our roster was so depleted that Hugh’s having to rebuild it. It’s not an over night or 1-2 year fix!

[@ashton7527]

I’ve been anti starting Walker White but Brown made some really awful decisions. I would LOVE to know what he saw on that curl route with a dude sitting in the flat. The accuracy on the pass down the middle was also terrible…. I thought accuracy was supposed to be his thing. This team might need to pivot to a heavy run offense…. Let’s get White in there and do some Tebow package type shit.

[@cameroncarr2293]

Ill listen, and enjoy show but not engage with comment section lol. Still love WR, and Charlie 5.

[@Rockstar8953]

Auburn need something positive to happen to them I don’t know but I think they should make package for Sam Jackson at Qb and maybe put M A on bench for game as tailback clean up some mistakes on defense and if get penalty on hit Qb out of bounds u go to bench Just my little 2 cents

[@gradyhayes8570]

Sounds like you want to see RBU return to Auburn.🙂

[@susanscales968]

What is evaluated in this week’s QB battle? 😅

[@ericpearson881]

I think it's obvious that the decision to pull Hank was nothing more than CHF trying to win the game. It wasn't about Payton or Hank, and it wasn't about next year. It was a decision made in the moment to try to win the game they were playing. I'll never be convinced that it was anything else. Second guessing is not productive. WDE!

[@chrisbrooks1376]

Just get a qb out the portal

[@JB-Mon]

Oklahoma starting a freshman QB this Saturday. It’s at Auburn so throw out everything you know about freshman QBs in the SEC and get ready for the reincarnation of Joe Montana.

[@jvilletiger]

Don’t worry, Durkin will bring zero pressure on 3rd and long and give him plenty of time to throw

Cobb has to get more carries.

[@richardjohnson8942]

[@lerahbrooks803]

Charley5, I need to see where you are getting your info from regarding Damari Alston. He has had touchdowns and he has had no more fumbles than Hunter, who has 2 years ahead of him. One bad play should not crucify Alston. SMH, what’s your problem with that young man. This is the first year that he has really gotten on the field.

[@VirtuousMatthew]

Tell me when we don't rush 3 lineman. I don't care if Keys hit the guy out of bounds, but if it's close and you're going to do it, light that MF'er up so he doesn't play another snap. Defense is not good, nor is the scheme. Stop masquerading Scott as a corner. And moving the football doesn't score points. Thorne is not a gamer; Hank is. Thorne won't be here next year; Hank will. You figure it out.
