Auburn will look to continue its quest for bowl eligibility, taking a 3-6 record into Week 12. The Tigers' struggles have been mostly on offense, averaging just 25.3 points per game – the third-lowest in the SEC.
Fans have been vocal with their frustration this season, and the boos rang out after the Week 10 loss to Vanderbilt. Hugh Freeze addressed the reaction from the fan base, pointing out Auburn isn't just having problems on offense.
"I didn't hear any. I don't hear that," Freeze said. "We're just not consistent enough, obviously in critical downs offensively. I think our defense is playing really at a high level.
"Offensively, when we're not able to create explosive runs, it seems that we really struggle to protect the passer and to throw and catch some. But you know, we're not playing very well in special teams, so that's a bad combination."
