For the fifth consecutive year, the Auburn football program is facing another season of mediocrity and subpar results. On Sunday, the Auburn Tigers played against the Arkansas Razorbacks in their SEC opener, suffering a 24-14 defeat and bringing their record to .500 after four games. The team struggled significantly on offense, with starting quarterback Hank Brown throwing three interceptions within the first 30 minutes. Just a week earlier, Brown had replaced incumbent starter Payton Thorne after Thorne’s poor performance against the Cal Golden Bears, which included four interceptions.
After the SEC game, Auburn fans took to social media to express their frustration, criticizing head coach Hugh Freeze for his failure to resolve the quarterback situation. Freeze notably stated this offseason that he would not allocate a significant portion of the team’s NIL funds to acquire a top quarterback from the portal. Additionally, former quarterback Bo Wallace, who played for the Ole Miss Rebels, also criticized Freeze. Fans are divided over Wallace’s comments, with some dismissing his views while others support the former SEC starter.
Auburn Football Fans Divided After Hugh Freeze Criticized by Former QB
According to former Ole Miss Rebels quarterback Bo Wallace on Twitter:
Not gonna sit here and fight with Auburn fans … hitch your wagons to him and see what happens. I did one time, too… holler at me in 2 years, and we’ll see where you’re at.
We’re approaching the point where he’s thrown so many QBs under the bus that maybe no one wants to play for him??
