AUBURN, Ala. – Looking back at Saturday's win at Vanderbilt, Auburn did a lot of things well. But as Hugh Freeze pointed out in his Monday press conference, the Tigers were not flawless.
With another SEC road trip coming this week to Arkansas, Auburn needs to play better.
"I don't know that we can have those (plays) not go our way this week in Arkansas," Freeze said. "I'm really impressed with them. I think they've lost five games by one score or less to really good football teams. Obviously, they're coming off a big win on the road in Gainesville. I think they've got a lot of motivation, and it's a very scary team. I think they're doing a good job.
"They're really good on defense, stopping the run, and KJ (Jefferson) – I've had great respect for him for many years now. I knew him out of high school, and he's a great leader. They've kind of gone back to playing like they did last year offensively. They seem much more confident. So, we've got our hands full with that."
Freeze once again praised the Auburn fans for showing out in Nashville over the weekend.
"Again, we thank our fans," he said. "I thought they were incredible. They showed up, and I really felt like we were at a neutral-site game at worst. We really just never had a problem communicating anything, and I think our fans were just incredible."
