Josh Pate On Auburn Imploding Saturday & Hugh Freeze's Future (Late Kick Cut)
Спорт
Hugh Freeze arrived at Auburn one year ago to a ton of hype and fanfare, but on Late Kick Live Ep 455 Josh Pate responded to the the latest setback for the Tiger football program as a loss to New Mexico State stunned the College Football world Saturday. How will this impact the recruiting class Freeze and his staff are assembling? Will we see longterm fallout or is this simply a painful part of rebuilding?

HF is beyond his prime. He is a middle-of-the-road coach. You'll see.

Yeah, you'll win a few big TV marquee games to please the boosters. But you'll never be a top card with him. That's his MO. Win a few big publicity games and fold when nobody's watching.

Did you mean "TO WHO?" That title gives me anxiety. By the way, my son is a Aggie alumn.... NEW MEXICO IN THE HOUSE!!!
I saw the score this morning and initially thought it might be some kind of weird basketball score. Obviously not football. I'm not an Auburn alum, nor do I particularly care for the program. I'm an Aggie alum so, A) I feel some of their pain. 2) NMSU is group of 5, true, but they aren't garbage. They're 9-3 now. C) On the bright side, the "Aggies" beat Auburn twice this season! Whoop!
As a Bama fan the Crimson Tide is not taking the Iron Bowl lightly this Saturday. Regardless of records it normally is a tough game to play for state rights for one year in Alabama. So you can throw out what Auburn did against New Mexico State because they are a wounded dog looking for redemption right now. This year's Alabama team have been focused every since the loss to Texas in every game so I am not concerned about that in this game. What I am really concerned about is potential injuries sustained in the game that will affect the SEC Championship Game the following week against Georgia.
Sarah McLachlan after seeing the final score: *boo do doop, doop, doop....*
The SEC Shorts blew one out of the water with this. Love the $1.8M “poison cupcake” analogy, lol! Did anyone besides me notice how embarrassed Hugh Freeze looked on the sidelines?
The problems started after the loss to a&m. Their offensive line allowed 7 sacks and 15 tackles for loss and they were not able to throw the ball at all. They relied to much on the running game. This stems from the fact that harsin and malzhan never recuirted an offensive lineman. Hate to break it for auburn fans but next few years are not going to be pleasant.

No kid wants to come there when a coach is on the hot seat every year.
The thing is that usually there’s some weirdness when people lose these games. Turnovers, missed FGs, some kinda crazy play like a ball bouncing off a helmet, etc. Generally the Power 5 team out plays the lower team but finds a way to lose. In this game NMSU jammed it down their throats in the 4th quarter. You shouldn’t be getting blown off the ball in the 4th quarter. There were no turnovers or craziness. NMSU just lined up and out manned Auburn for 4 straight quarters. That isn’t a talent gap issue. When you lose to UGA it’s a talent issue. This was prep and desire. That’s on the coach 🤷🏼
