Tigers 2-3 after falling 27-20 to top-ranked Bulldogs
Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze isn’t taking any sort of victory lap just because his team played Georgia closer than many believed was possible this past Saturday.
Auburn is 3-2 overall and 0-2 in the SEC heading into its open date, a break that allowed Freeze to get out among the public on Monday. He also spoke in Birmingham earlier in the day and made a number of recruiting visits at high schools around the state. “Jordan-Hare is an incredible place to play and our people are super supportive and I think it helps in recruiting. We had a great recruiting weekend even though we lost the game, and a lot of that goes to the energy that is being felt from our people.”“It’s a constant evolving thing. Obviously, there’s strengths to Monty’s play-calling and I’ve done it for a long time. So we collaborate really well together and we’re still kind of searching for what is best for our football team to win games.
“Those third downs on both sides, I think that was the difference in the game. Our defense couldn’t get off the field on third-and-longs and we couldn’t convert the third-and-mediums-to-shorts. And I think that was the difference in the game. But you take, again, the fact that we did rush the ball on a good defense and let’s build upon it.”“I’m very pleased other than the few breakdowns we tend to have that cost us.
