Auburn (3-0) plays Texas A&M (2-1) on Saturday morning at Kyle Field, and if you’re wondering how you can watch the action live, you’ve come to the right place.
After winning the first three games of the [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] era, the Auburn Tigers are loading up and heading out west to face Jimbo Fisher and the Texas A&M Aggies.
Auburn, offensively, has not caught a groove yet and Freeze is preparing his team to go against several of the best defenders in the SEC.
“It is a great concern. I want to be really clear; we are getting ready to play three teams that have – over the last four to five years – ranked in the top seven to five in recruiting. You are playing the best recruits in the nation. We are going to be there soon. That doesn’t mean you can’t compete. There is a reason they are third in the nation on third-down defense. They have a bunch of five-stars in the defensive line, linebacker and that safety, and that corner. They are really talented. When you put on the film you see that. Their closing speed is incredible. They are physical up front, and it is a tall challenge for us in year one to stand toe to toe with A&M and Georgia next week and LSU the following week. It is our goal to get there. But that is what reality is, we have had about eight months to recruit about half a class and these others have been stacking it, and that is why they are ranked third in the country (on third-down defense).”
The Tigers will also sport a uniform combination that has not been seen in 40 years. For the first time since 1983, Auburn will wear orange facemasks on the road. Auburn switched to its traditional navy facemask look in 1984, with the look staying consistent until the 2021 season, when orange masks made a return to the home uniform, and white masks made their debut with away uniforms.
