Five reasons why Auburn will beat Samford on Saturday

Expect the Tigers to put on a show for Auburn alumni on homecoming Saturday.

Auburn welcomes Samford to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday evening and hopes to work out several kinks ahead of next Saturday’s SEC opener at Texas A&M.

One of the major aspects that head coach [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] wants to build on is consistency at the quarterback position. The rotation of [autotag]Payton Thorne[/autotag] and [autotag]Robby Ashford[/autotag] has seen its ups and downs through two games, and Freeze wants to keep working to figure out the right way to utilize both players.

“That’s a big challenge, and I do not like the way the other night went with it,” Freeze said during his weekly press conference on Monday. “At the same time, I think Robby (Ashford) has to get his touches. That is absolutely on my mind, and we have to figure it out.”

There are many reasons why Auburn has the advantage over Samford, but we broke it down to five. Here are five reasons why Auburn should take care of business on Saturday night.
