Auburn Football vs Oklahoma | Hugh Freeze Press Conference I Auburn Football Podcast
Podcast: The Auburn ExpressPublished On: Sun Sep 21 2025
Description: Auburn football battled hard but came up short in a tough road loss against Oklahoma, and Hugh Freeze’s postgame press conference gave plenty of insight into what went wrong. The Tigers showed flashes of strong play, especially from wide receiver Camden Brown, who dominated in physical matchups and nearly shifted momentum on key drives. However, penalties, sacks, and special teams mistakes kept Auburn from pulling off a statement win. Freeze was candid about Auburn’s struggles. Thirteen penalties and multiple costly special teams errors were simply too much to overcome against a talented Oklahoma squad. While Auburn’s defense competed well, even holding the Sooners in critical situations, a few blown coverages and one overturned scoop-and-score ended up being decisive. Quarterback Payton Thorne faced relentless pressure, with Oklahoma racking up 10 sacks. Freeze admitted Auburn must find better ways to protect in obvious passing downs and establish a more consistent run game. Still, he praised the fight of his team, emphasizing that Auburn is proving they can compete toe-to-toe with elite programs. The SEC season will only get tougher, and Freeze pointed to the parity across the league. From Georgia and Tennessee to Ole Miss and Arkansas, every week presents a challenge. Auburn has to regroup quickly, limit mistakes, and lean on its playmakers moving forward. This game showed both Auburn’s potential and its flaws. With more discipline, improved protection, and sharper execution, the Tigers can still be a dangerous team in 2025. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
