Ashton Daniels Just Saved Auburn’s Season? | Auburn Quarterback Controversy | Auburn Football Podcast
Podcast: The Auburn ExpressPublished On: Mon Oct 27 2025
Description: The Auburn Tigers are at a crossroads — and the latest quarterback decision may change the entire trajectory of their 2025 season. In this week’s episode of The Weekend Tailgate, we break down Auburn’s offensive struggles, questionable play calling, and the major shakeup under center as Ashton Daniels replaced Jackson Arnold mid-game against Arkansas. Despite continued issues finishing drives, Auburn’s offense finally showed life when Daniels took the field. His poise, mobility, and field awareness gave Auburn the steady presence they’ve been missing all season. But with the red zone inefficiency still plaguing this team, the conversation turns to the heart of the issue — Hugh Freeze’s play calling. Is it time for Freeze to hand over the sheet and let another coach take control of the offense? We also tackle the fallout from the SEC’s officiating apology after Auburn’s controversial loss to Oklahoma — a rare admission that confirmed what many fans already knew: that game was stolen. Still, as we emphasize, Auburn’s offense must improve enough that no bad call can dictate a game’s outcome again. With Georgia and A&M in the rearview and key SEC matchups looming, the Tigers’ road ahead depends on two things: coaching adjustments and quarterback consistency. Can Ashton Daniels stabilize this offense? Will Hugh Freeze trust his staff enough to relinquish play-calling duties? We cover it all — stats, film, and reaction — and explain why Auburn fans have every reason to believe this team is close to turning the corner. Learn more about your ad choices.
