The Rundown, Ep. 609 (10-23-23)

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on what Hugh Freeze had to say after the stinging home loss to Ole Miss.

The quarterback situation couldn't be a bigger mess, but Freeze seems dead-set on rotating both Payton Thorne and Robby Ashford. How does that make sense? B-Matt tries to make sense of it. Also, why does Freeze allow himself to be off-kilter from Philip Montgomery?

Does the losing affect recruiting? Caleb thinks it might in a few cases, but that the vast majority of recruits with whom Auburn already has connected have heard the chatter from Freeze himself that Auburn needs more playmakers. In that sense, losing simply reinforces what Auburn has been saying all along.

Aden Holloway and Tre Donaldson were stand-out performers during the open practice/scrimmage before the Ole Miss game last weekend. If point-guard play is excellent this season, and that's a big IF, this team can be really, really good.

The show is presented by VooDoo Wing Company with locations in Auburn, Mobile, Tuscaloosa, Florence, Charlotte and Las Vegas. Check them out IN PERSON for delicious chicken or on the web at www.voodoowingco.com.
