Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze gives his initial impressions on Auburn's next opponent, the Cal Bears.
This is the second game of the home-and-home series between the teams. Auburn picked up aThe Golden Bears opened the season with a 31-13 win over UC Davis that was a one-point game entering the second half.
"They have quite a few returners. Both those defensive ends, they’re really talented, 44 and 7 . You’ve got to have a plan for those guys. Linebackers are aggressive, play hard. And they’re athletic in the secondary. Will they play us the exact same way they did last year? I don’t know. But last year they were basically saying ‘we’re going to make you have to throw the football and win some one-on-ones.’ We struggled to do that some.
“We’re going to have to get ready for tempo; they go fast,” Freeze said. “So that creates problems with communication. We’re going to make sure we are communicating effectively. They are pretty new offensively. It’s different. Big quarterback, strong, good arm, can throw it. So it will be another challenge for us.”
“I may talk to him,” Freeze said. “I see what they’re doing and I think I have a good feel about what they’ve done. I don’t know exactly when they’re going to do it, but I know if we put 12 personnel out there. Defensive guys don’t change too much as far as this is how you treat 12 personnel as opposed to 11 personnel or 10 personnel.
