"Auburn's Season Finale Fizzles: Freeze Eyes QB Change After Bowl Defeat"
Auburn's football team ended their season with a disappointing 31-13 loss to Maryland in the Music City Bowl, leading to questions about where the blame for the offense's poor performance lies. Head coach Hugh Freeze's inconsistent involvement with the offensive game plan throughout the season has been highlighted as a potential issue. Despite taking more control late in the season, Freeze admitted to not being heavily involved in the offensive planning for the bowl game due to recruiting commitments. The team's inability to run the ball effectively and poor quarterback play were also cited as reasons for the loss. Going forward, Freeze acknowledges the need for evaluation and potential changes within the offensive staff and quarterback position.
