Auburn Football is BACK!

Get ready, ChumCity! It's finally game week, and our Auburn Tigers are hitting the gridiron Friday night against the Baylor Bears! Forget those typical Saturday vibes - this one's under the Friday night lights!

A Fresh Start on the Plains

With a new season comes that sweet, sweet taste of hope. Can we rewrite the last few years? Coach Hugh Freeze has been hard at work rebuilding the team from the ground up, and whispers say he's finally got the squad he needs to brawl.

First Test: Baylor

Baylor, coached by the brilliant Dave Aranda, is the first hurdle. Freeze sounded pumped during his preview press conference about this unique Friday opener.

"We're excited! Our kids are excited, and our fans are!" he exclaimed. He added that while there's still work to do, this week "is where you really get tested." He knows Baylor will be ready and stresses minimizing mistakes against such a talented team.

Friday Night Prep

Freeze also discussed how the Friday game shifted their preparation, treating the last two weeks like a Friday schedule.

Quarterback Corner: Jackson Arnold

All eyes are on quarterback Jackson Arnold, as Auburn looks to revitalize their passing game. Freeze says Arnold is "progressing every practice," praising his decision-making during the mock game. He wants Arnold to trust his reads in the pocket, but also recognizes his athleticism to create plays when things break down.

Freeze is confident in his receivers and the offensive plan, but acknowledges the need to protect Arnold against Baylor's blitz packages. "Jackson, I’m pleased with his progression," Freeze concluded.

Game Time!

Tune in Friday night at 70 p.m. CST on FOX to catch the action! War Eagle!
