Despite a 4-game losing streak, Auburn’s players are staying positive.
The Tigers have not won a game since their Week 3 bout with Samford, but they believe there are still plenty of games to be won this season.
Hugh Freeze explained that during a life-talk session with his team Monday, his players has a positive reaction as they discussed dealing with unmet expectations.
“I talked to our team on Monday and we do life talks on Monday and it was all about all of us face at some point or another closed doors or unmet expectations,” Freeze said during the SEC coaches teleconference Wednesday. “That’s never going to go away in life and how we handle them I think will really determine how we get through them and the challenge and temptation that most people have when they have an unmet expectation or closed door is they’ve become disengaged. And therefore just don’t get better and my challenge to our staff and our players this week has been let’s just get 1% better. Let’s clear the fog and play free and I thought we had one of our better Tuesdays. So I’m pleased to this point.”
Freeze is hoping that Auburn is able to get back into the win column following a tough stretch of games. Looking at the Tigers’ remaining schedule, they will see Mississippi State, Vanderbilt, Arkansas and UMass before closing out the season against Alabama. Auburn has had some promising results, like playing within a touchdown of Georgia and Ole Miss, so it is very likely the Tigers could find themselves in a bowl game this season.
