Hugh Freeze commented on how excited he is when it comes to one of his running backs. Jarquez Hunter played in his first game for Auburn in Week 2.
Freeze is looking forward to seeing what Hunter will become and for the Auburn RB to get back into the flow of things.
“I’m excited to see what he’ll become… but he left a lot of yards out there,” said Freeze. “He’s getting back in the flow of things.”
