We are set to speak with Hugh Freeze as the Tigers prepare to host UL-Monroe this Saturday in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Follow along and refresh for all updates.
*** Good open week. Now it's time to get back and try to improve. Try to get a win in Jordan-Hare. Our kids continue to practice hard. Really proud of them sticking to it in what has been a disappointing year. The good ones, they fight. I've really been pleased for the most part with the people in this building.
*** Mentions UL-Monroe is an improved team. Outstanding running back. Play extremely hard. Played against them when the coaching staff was at UAB.
*** Home crowd continues to be really supportive even in tough times.
*** Veteran's Day today and Auburn's military appreciation day is this week.
*** On response in locker room following Vandy game: "A lot of hurt."
*** First time Hugh has been through a season like this where it seems everything that can go wrong has.
*** On QB situation: "Payton's played solid. He wasn't able to practice last week due to the shoulder injury. We will see how he feels this week and see what the other guys do taking the reps." Mentions you have to start to look at the big picture.
*** Any more reps for Walker? "Second open week, we got the 3s a lot more reps. They had a little scrimmage to close out the week. Guys that don't typically get reps."
*** Other spots that have caught his eye? "Pretty settled at most spots and we don't have any other DBs to try right now. I thought Jarquez needed a break." Really tried to get Jeremiah Wright and Too Tall some rest as well.
*** Importance of the next 3 weeks on building momentum: "It's vital that we compete and that's the goal." Mentions recruiting is vital as well to close out the 2025 class.
*** On offensive play-calling and how it works: "It's a combination. Obviously the game plan is done in a room with all of us. It's usually a mixture."
*** Says they might be asking a bit too much from the young wide receivers.
*** On not taking UL-Monroe lightly: "Well, we don't take anyone lightly from a staff's perspective." Mentions they can't take anyone lightly.
*** On McPherson: "I haven't gotten the report on him today. We let them off Saturday and Sunday. It was still a struggle as of Friday where he couldn't practice."
*** On how McPherson being out affects play-calling: "It has to." Mentions the momentum killers from the missed kicks have hurt.
*** Evaluating big picture at other positions? "I think we already playing them all. All the young kids that haven't redshirt are playing in some fashion."
*** "It's already started. You're already actively trying to recruit your own roster." - on personnel
That's it for Hugh. Have a great Monday.
