AUBURN, Ala. – Saturday was a special day on The Plains. Auburn won its season opener in front of a record crowd. Hugh Freeze earned his first victory as the Auburn head coach. And everybody celebrated by rolling Toomer's Corner. But by Sunday, the celebration had ended. The Tigers had moved on to Week 2 and a road trip to Cal.
"We're 1-0, but it's in the trash and over with," Freeze said during Monday's press conference. "That's kind of the way you approach this profession. Our fans are incredible, our student section is incredible, our band, cheerleaders, everybody. Tiger Walk was awesome. Being with family was great. But that one is over. We're 1-0 and now we have a tough test on the road."
"Certainly, there's a lot more that we can improve on as we look forward to Cal. Cal is talented. (Head coach Justin) Wilcox is a great defensive mind. They're very sound on that side. Not flashy, but sound. He does a really nice job there."
