The Auburn football program got together early Monday morning to breakdown how Saturday's win over UMass looked on film.
Surely there were Krispy Kreme Doughnuts waiting for everyone at Monday morning’s meeting and everyone talked about the rainbows and butterflies that come with a blowout victory like Saturday’s, right?While there was plenty to be happy about following Saturday’s win, the film showed a few things worth griping about.
Later in the first quarter, Auburn cornerback Keionte Scott returned a UMass punt 56 yards to the Minutemen’s 16-yard line, once again giving the Tigers’ offense a field that was eaten up in a few short plays.While the UMass offense saw 11 third- or fourth-down opportunities on Saturday, the Minutemen only converted one of them.
Meanwhile the Tigers’ ability to keep up with the tempo, create some explosive plays, go 6-for-10 on third down and finish with 100% efficiency in the redzone are all big positives that came out of Auburn’s season-opener.While Freeze had so much good to say about the Auburn offense, he had a few grievances — one being the some of Payton Thorne’s decision making at quarterback.
“He handed a ball off and the safety triggered so hard, and the safety made the hit like 1 yard in the backfield. So, I’m — ‘How do you not see that?!’ That ball should be thrown,” Freeze said. “Then about two plays later, the darn safety stays as high as he can, and we pull it and throw it. Those are the things that can’t happen. He’s too intelligent, has too much of an IQ and he’ll get that cleaned up and fixed.
