Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' loss at Texas A&M and the shockingly poor play from the offense.

How in the world is Hugh Freeze going to create order from this level of chaos? It sure sounds like the Tigers are going to stick with Payton Thorne for now, which seems like an insane idea. The transfer quarterback was terrible against A&M and seems confused about how to read a defense. But does Robby Ashford or even Holden Geriner provide something better than what Thorne brings?

Are Freeze and Philip Montgomery on the same page?

Why can't Freeze call plays? Why is he so reticent?

Is the run game actually working?

Is Asante out here killing it when Pro Football Focus keeps giving him the lowest grade on defense?

So many questions. We do our best to provide answers!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' win over Samford and the state of the team heading into College Station.

Quarterback Payton Thorne was at his very best against Samford. The transfer from Michigan State accounted for more than 400 yards and three touchdowns, but can he replicate that kind of effectiveness against the Southeastern Conference? The guys think it's more about this offensive line and this run game than anything the quarterback can or cannot do.

How about the defense? They've created seven takeaways, which is tied for the league lead, and have been at least solid against both the pass and the run. With nickel Keionte Scott out for the foreseeable future, however, can the Tigers' defense remain this stingy an opportunitistic?

Caleb reviews his road trips to see commits Bryce Cain and Perry Thompson down south, his trip to Parker High School in Birmingham to see targets Jeremiah Beamon, Na'eem Offord and Jourdin Crawford. 

The show ends with an ample supply of shoutout and commendations for members of the AuburnSports.com/Bunker community!

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton, Brian Stultz and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' 14-10 win at Cal. 

What in the world was that. A win is a win, of course, but the Auburn masses were (and are) stupefied by the team's inability to make meaningful, in-game improvements from an offensive perspective. Bryan thinks the quarterback conundrum actually is a symptom of a bigger problem. Why is Hugh Freeze so adamant that Robby Ashford get a certain number of touches per game?

The defense? Excellent. Ron Roberts, Eugene Asante and Donovan Kaufman have been revelations. Can the Tigers' defense continue to build from here? We think it's possible.

Auburn basketball is set up to host a pair of five-star wings during the next month, which is a big development.

Bryan Matthews, Caleb Jones, Henry Patton and Jay G. Tate reconvene for a new edition of The Rundown, which focuses on the Tigers' 59-14 victory over the UMass Minutemen.

It's a fine margin of victory, but several elements of the game seemed to irk coach Hugh Freeze. We tend to agree with his fussiness, though we speak more about run defense and he speaks more about missed connections on offense. Robby Ashford carved out a nice role last week with three red-zone touchdowns. Can he maintain that level of productivity moving forward? And how quickly should we expect improvement from Payton Thorne?

The Tigers' depth at tailback is amazing. Has it ever been this good?

Auburn added a pair of new commits this week — one for the '24 class and one for the '25 class — and the guys talk about both of them in addition to current commit Malik Autry garnering some serious attention from Alabama, Georgia, Florida and LSU.
