Hugh Freeze suggests multiple QBs could see time Auburn's season-opener at Baylor
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze caught the attention of Auburn fans during Monday's airing of the long-running radio show "Tiger Talk" with host Andy Burcham. During the show, Freeze was asked if there was a possibility that all three quarterbacks on Auburn's depth chart: Jackson Arnold, Deuce Knight, and Ashton Daniels, could play in the Tigers' season-opener against Baylor next Friday night. To which he responded, "Yeah." Whether he truly means that or if he is using it as a tool to confuse Baylor's game plan, it was enough to cause a negative reaction from the Auburn fan base, due mostly to past games such as the 2016 season-opener against Clemson, in which Sean White, Jeremy Johnson, and John Franklin III ran the offense from the quarterback position. To shed more light on the situation, we will rewind to earlier in the day when Freeze spoke to the media one final time in the preseason. During his time with the media, he shared that he is "pleased" with both Knight and Daniels in the backup role, and feels that "there is a place for both, depending on the scenario in the game." He also says that it has been difficult to fully evaluate Arnold and the rest of his quarterbacks due to the "no contact" policy at practices. "Our offensive staff is frustrated when you're in a scrimmage and you don't feel like you're getting maybe the yards that you would've gotten because the whistle is just getting blown," Freeze said Monday. "Somebody gets near (Arnold) in the pocket and it gets blown. Then you watch the film and you're like, 'I'm pretty confident he got out of this one.' I don't know what would've happened afterwards. I would've loved to have seen. I don't know how you do that until it's real. We've seen enough tape to know he has that ability. You see it out there. We called a few today and are still blowing it pretty quick. I have to see the film, but it looked like you're clicking off five, six, seven yards there. Not just him, Ashton (Daniels) and Deuce (Knight) also." Freeze and the Tigers have just over a week to figure out the pecking order and strategy for quarterbacks before taking the field for the season opener.
