Auburn’s last two coaches’ downfall was their offenses no longer met expectations.
For Gus Malzahn that meant they slipped from where they were early in his tenure. Bryan Harsin was never able to establish an effective offense.
[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] was hired to change that, and he has had success in the SEC with his offensive scheme. He has used it to beat Nick Saban multiple times, something not many coaches can say.
His offense is based around a dangerous passing attack and developing quarterbacks, something that has [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] excited to work with his new coach.
This will mark a change in Auburn’s past offenses, which were based around a ground attack that opened holes in the defense the passing game could then exploit.
Here is a look at Freeze’s offenses at Arkansas State (2011), Ole Miss 2012-16), and Liberty (2019-22) by the numbers and how they rank compared to the rest of their peers.
