Auburn Football Auburn report card: Tigers receive strong marks in 59-14 win over UMass Updated: Sep. 03, 2023, 10:19 a.m.| Published: Sep. 03, 2023, 6:00 a.m. Auburn running back Brian Battie (21) outruns University of Massachusetts linebacker Jalen Stewart (23) during the first halfSaturday, Sept. 2, 2023, in Auburn, Alabama. (Julie Bennett | preps@al.com) Julie Bennett | preps@al.comJulie Bennett | preps@al.com 764 shares By Matt Cohen | mcohen@al.com Week 1 is in the books. Auburn demolished UMass 59-14 in the season opener to begin the year 1-0. It got contributions in all three phases. It was a day highlighted by Robby Ashford, Jaylin Simpson and Donovan Kaufman. So it’s time to put some grades in the book too. Here’s the AL.com report card for Auburn’s season-opening win. Offense Grade: A- It’s hard to give anything less than an ‘A’ when you score 59 points. The idea is to score, right? And sure, one of those touchdowns was a Simpson pick-six, but Auburn’s offense had 492 total yards of offense including 289 on the ground. Seven players carried the ball for Auburn. Sean Jackson led the bunch with 64 yards on five carries. Ashford led Auburn with nine carries, and scored three rushing touchdowns. Running backs coach Cadillac Williams did a great job putting together a running back group that is so deep with Damari Alston, Jeremiah Cobb and Brian Battie. Auburn put up that performance without Jarquez Hunter playing. So why is this not an A+? The passing attack was good, but probably not more than good. Auburn had 203 passing yards and while there was a lot of positive passing flashes, there were also the phases of working out kinks in a new offense. Payton Thorne finished 10-17 with 141 yards and a touchdown. Ashford completed only two of his six passes. The wide receivers and quarterbacks weren’t always in sync, and Auburn was working a new quarterback in Thorne into the picture. So all this makes sense. It’s just not quite enough or an A+. Defense Grade: B There are two ways to look at this. On one hand, Auburn gave up 72 rushing yards on the first UMass drive, and then only allowed 69 rushing yards for the rest of the game. Or, and for the sake of this grade, Auburn could have give up much more if not for forcing UMass to abandon the run because UMass couldn’t stop Auburn’s offense. UMass starting running back Kay’Ron Adams had 14 carries for 101 yards, that’s more than seven yards per carry. Hugh Freeze said after the game that the run defense is somewhere he hoped to see improvement going forward. It was a question mark coming into this game as Auburn hadn’t been sure if it had a good run offense or bad rush defense. This wasn’t the answer Auburn wanted. But the secondary and pass rush were great. Auburn didn’t allow UMass to break the 100 passing yards mark until late in the third quarter. Auburn had for sacks and seven tackles for loss. It found an interesting route to pass rushing success by sending Donovan Kaufman and Keionte Scott on blitzes from the nickel corner spot. UMass wasn’t able to handle that scheme. Most of UMass’ positive passing stats came in garbage time. And yet, Auburn did all that without Nehemiah Pritchett playing. Special Teams Grade: A+ Nothing to not here. Other than a weird onside kick trick play that went awry on Auburn’s kickoff to start the second half, there were no mistakes on special teams. Kicker Alex McPherson was perfect on his only field goal attempt and made all eight of the point after attempts after Auburn’s touchdowns. Though Auburn’s returners were the most notable part of the special teams. Brian Battie had 86 kick return yards including a long return for 38 yards on the opening kickoff. Keionte Scott had 67 punt return yards across two punts. One return was a 56-yard run down to the UMass 16. Maybe you could knit pick and say it could have been better if Auburn had a special teams touchdown. I don’t think that’s necessary to get an A+. Coaching Grade: A- There were no notable coaching decisions that went poorly in this game. So the A- grade comes from how well Freeze and the offensive staff were able to figure out the role for Robby Ashford. Using him as a redzone weapon was a creative scheme, and Ashford proved his coaches right. A very well-developed game plan. Overall Grade: A- Auburn won 59-14. Sure, it’s UMass — regarded as one of the worst FBS teams. But it’s hard to argue 59-14. The players can’t control what teams are on their schedule, the just want to play well. And Auburn did play well. There is only so much to take away from this game since it was the first game of the year and against UMass. This wasn’t expected to be a perfectly complete project. But Saturday against UMass showed flashes, enough flashes at least, of potential. This is going to take time to get everything right. And that’s okay. Hugh Freeze has been transparent on this point: this is a slow process, and putting together this team of transfers is among the biggest challenges he’s ever had. So a performance like Auburn had Saturday was a good starting point.

i think we looked so well coached it helped us with the minutemen since they are a cupcake. i do realize maybe they are better than we thought because they murdered the first team we played and looked good.

that was a pretty throw indeed!

you know i post a lot of al.com articles right? However if i post it i have no problem if anyone skips over those articles. but here is two things. when i post i try to post for everyone. i do not allow my own personal feelings to dictate what i post because no one is the same. and to be fair there have been a couple of days since i have been doing this they were literally the only game in town that day. the second is the hate. we hate finebaum. we hate al.com. we hate this announcer. we hate that announcer. guys that is a lot of hate to carry around and i refuse to do it. i know this will not be popular and i apologize for any offended. i am a huge Auburn fan and i love most of our talking has always been done on the field. anywho..........................LP you owe me a huge cheesebirger now....................lol

worry leads to over thinking so i try to slow it down. i feel great about our secondary and i think the D will rise up. we cannot let those dirty stinking hippies beat us!. oh wait I am a hippy!

as if you needed more proof that Donald Trump is ******* nuts Trump averted a nuclear holocaust, don'tcha know Jeff Tiedrich Sep 3 READ IN APP Donald Trump is stark barking bonkers. this we know. but every now and then, there’s an item in the news that reminds us that as big a lunatic as we imagine Trump to be, the reality is that he’s a **** of a lot worse. Upgrade to paid The New York Times got their hands on the deposition Trump gave last April as part of New York AG Letitia James’s civil fraud case against him and his company — and oh boy, is it a doozy. the megalomania, the narcissism, the arrogance, the insanity — it’s all on display. I’m sorry, what? yes, you read that right. this is the kind of ****nuttery that rattles around in Trump’s deteriorating brain. and here’s the thing: the question Trump was answering here was a simple one having to do with the Trump Organization, and he went off on a long ramble about how he kept Kim Jong-un from blowing up the world. MR. TRUMP: I was very busy. I was — I considered this the most important job in the world, saving millions of lives. I think you would have nuclear holocaust, if I didn’t deal with North Korea. I think you would have a nuclear war, if I weren’t elected. And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth. but that’s Trump. ask him a simple question and you get a long, rambling answer packed with bull**** and buffoonery, having nothing to do with the topic at hand. for seven excruciating hours, it went on like this, with Trump never passing up an opportunity to whine about how unfair it all is. MR. TRUMP: The banks — the banks are shocked by this case. That’s my opinion, because they’ve never had anything like this. Do you know the banks were fully paid? Do you know the banks made a lot of money? Do you know I don’t believe I ever got even a default notice, and even during Covid, the banks were all paid? And yet you’re suing on behalf of banks, I guess. It’s crazy. The whole case is crazy. oh, and there was this gem: MR. TRUMP: And friends of mine have said, you are the most honest person in the world. So we’ve done a good job. Don’t get credit for it. That’s OK. the prosecution’s lawyers were exasperated. CHRISTOPHER M. KISE (lawyer for Trump): We’re going to be here until midnight if you keep asking questions that are all over the map. KEVIN WALLACE (lawyer for Letitia James): Chris, we’re going to be here until midnight if your client answers every question with an eight-minute speech. So let’s get down to business. and this is why none of Trump’s lawyers ever want to put him on the witness stand in an actual trial. it would be a twenty-megaton technicolor s***-show. also in the news is this bit of schadenfreude. hold on to your hats, because Donald Trump’s crappy app is on the verge of failure. Trump’s Truth Social facing a key funding deadline The ‘blank check’ ally of former president Donald Trump’s media start-up was once a stock-market star. It’s now days away from potential liquidation. that’s right, the guy who failed at running a real estate empire and failed at running casinos and failed at running an airline and failed at running a football team and failed at running for reelection is now failing at running a social media app. Now, almost two years later, the deal faces what could be a catastrophic threat. With the merger stalled for months, Digital World is fast approaching a Sept. 8 deadline for the merger to close and has scheduled a shareholder meeting for Tuesday in hopes of getting enough votes to extend the deadline another year. If the vote fails, Digital World will be required by law to liquidate and return $300 million to its shareholders, leaving Trump’s company with nothing from the transaction. hashtag sad. we’re as flabbergasted as you are, Rick. how could we not have foreseen that this dipshit stumble**** would fall on his stupid face once again? the fact is, Truth Social has become a ghost town. Similarweb’s estimate of how many people in the United States visited Truth Social in July from either a desktop computer or their phone’s web browser totaled just over 1 million, down nearly 20 percent since June. (There is some overlap, given that users can access the site on both their desktops and phones.) Three times as many unique visitors in July visited the websites for The Old Farmer’s Almanac and the Denver Gazette. though to be fair, the information in the Farmer’s Almanac is a **** of a lot more accurate — and entertaining — than anything you’ll read on Trump’s s***ty twitter clone. everyone is entitled to my own opinion is a reader-supported publication.

i just read where Cal had 669 yards of total "O". it is a worry................

auburntigers.com Auburn football notebook: Jaylin Simpson's takeaways Auburn University Athletics 6–7 minutes AUBURN, Ala. – When the receiver he was covering started counting, Auburn defensive back Jaylin Simpson knew what that meant. "I read the receiver; I could tell what he was running from his first step. I knew he was counting his steps and usually when receivers count steps, they aren't really going deep," Simpson said. "I had a feel for it, and the formation, I kind of knew what was going on." Simpson returned an interception 50 yards for a touchdown 17 seconds into the second half Saturday in the Tigers' 59-14 victory vs. Massachusetts, racing toward the south end zone where students clad in white were waiting. "All I saw was white," Simpson said. "It was beautiful, man. I keep replaying it in my head. It was a great feeling." In the first half, Simpson recovered a fumble after Donovan Kaufman's strip sack and returned in 13 yards to set up the third of three Robby Ashford touchdown runs. "A funky one. It was funny to me," Simpson said. "DK came around and stripped the quarterback. The O-linemen, those guys can't bend really well. They tried to scoop it up and couldn't. I don't know it was who kicked it, my eyes got big and the ball was right in front of my face." Simpson downplayed his stellar performance that included his fourth career interception and first career fumble recovery. "Just doing my job, doing what I'm coached to do," he said. CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES After his first Auburn victory, head coach Hugh Freeze rolled Toomer's Corner with his family before heading home for celebratory sandwiches. "In life and football, I think we all fail to celebrate victories," Freeze said. "I've made up my mind for the rest of my career, I'm going to enjoy at least for a few hours the fact that our team, our staff, found a way to win a football game in college. "I don't care who you play, it's just not easy to win football games, so I want to enjoy that and I want our kids to, and I want them to learn to do that in life with their families and celebrate each other when those things happen." SALUTING STAN Before the game, Auburn honored former quarterback Stan White for his 22 seasons as the analyst for the Auburn Sports Network. "This is awesome," said White, who quarterbacked the Tigers from 1990-93 before joining Auburn's radio crew from 2001-22. "I had such a blessed time calling the games over the last 22 straight years with the likes of Jim Fyffe, Rod Bramblett and Andy Burcham. It's great to have some family time." Jason Campbell, who quarterbacked the Tigers from 2001-04, succeeded White in the press box this season. "He's going to do a fantastic job," White said. "He's got that experience. He's going to step right in and keep the network going. I'm looking forward to hearing them for many years." White will return to Pat Dye Field for the Ole Miss game on Oct. 21 when Auburn celebrates the 30th anniversary of the unbeaten 1993 team. Jeff Shearer is a Senior Writer at AuburnTigers.com.

Auburn gets commitment from top OL recruit DeAndre Carter Updated: Sep. 03, 2023, 1:30 p.m.|Published: Sep. 03, 2023, 1:05 p.m. ~3 minutes Auburn fans cheer during the second half of the game against the University of Massachusetts Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023, in Auburn, Alabama. (Julie Bennett | preps@al.com) Julie Bennett | preps@al.comJulie Bennett | preps@al.com DeAndre Carter, a class of 2024 four-star offensive lineman rated as the top interior prospect in the nation, announced his commitment to Auburn on Sunday after the season-opening win over UMass. Carter was among Auburn’s top offensive line targets in this recruiting cycle and he is the first offensive lineman in the team’s 2024 class. At 6-foot-4, 340 pounds, Carter played left tackle at national powerhouse Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, California. But experts anticipate Carter will move and play on the interior in college. 247Sports ranks him as the nation’s best interior offensive line prospect. And at Mater Dei, Carter has already faced some of the top high school defenders in the country. Overall, 247Sports ranks him as the 55th-best player in the 2024 class. He is the third highest-rated player in Auburn’s now 18-commit 2024 class behind five-star recruits Perry Thompson and Demarcus Riddick. Auburn’s 2024 class is still in the top 20 in the nation overall and the top 10 when adjusted for average player ranking, per 247Sports. He picked Auburn over a group of finalists that included Texas and Michigan State. Carter was on The Plains at Big Cat Weekend and watched as Auburn built recruiting momentum with 5-star wide receiver Perry Thompson’s poolside commitment to Auburn. Carter seemed to enjoy his visit to Auburn and received multiple “Crystal Ball” predictions for an Auburn commitment as the weekend came to a close. Though his recruitment process to Auburn has all happened rather quickly. It hasn’t even been two months since Auburn offered Carter a scholarship. Carter took an official visit to Auburn on June 16 and was back on campus again for Big Cat Weekend on July 29. Matt Cohen covers Auburn sports for AL.com.

247sports.com PMARSHONAU Sunday reflections from Auburn and beyond Phillip Marshall 6–8 minutes SEC blowouts, Deion's debut, what we learned and much more Bigger challenges ahead for SEC teams Lots of teams showed up on SEC campuses on Saturday to pick up their six-figure checks, but first they had to take some serious beatdowns. Ole Miss beat Mercer 73-7, Alabama beat Middle Tennessee State 56-7, Arkansas beat Western Carolina 56-13, Mississippi State beat Southeast Louisiana 48-7, Georgia beat Tennessee-Martin 48-7, Vanderbilt beat Alabama A&M 47-13, Texas A&M beat New Mexico 52-10, Kentucky beat Ball State 44-14. Auburn beat UMass 59-14. Tennessee didn’t play a give-me-my-check game. It played Virginia, an ACC bottom-feeder, and romped 47-13. Only South Carolina played a real team. And Gamecocks’ quarterback Spencer Rattler was sacked nine times in a 31-17 loss to North Carolina. Blowouts are fun, even against outmatched teams. But, for all those SEC outfits, much tougher days are ahead. Opening act of the Sanders show a roaring success Like it or not, the big story of the day Saturday was Colorado going to Fort Worth and beating No. 17 TCU in Deion Sanders’ first game as head coach. It was a remarkable performance by a team made up almost entirely of newcomers – players and coaches. Travis Hunter, a former 5-star who made headlines when he signed with Sanders and Jackson State, had a day like you rarely see. He played both ways, logging an astonishing 129 snaps on a 98-degree day. He made impact plays on both sides of the ball. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders, son of the head coach, put on quite a show with more than 500 yards passing. For at least a day, he answered those who wondered if being a star in the SWAC would mean being a star on the big stage. That Colorado is far better than last season’s 1-11 team is beyond dispute. How much better? That remains to be seen. Colorado did not look like much on defense. They were not able to run the ball with any consistency, gaining just 55 yards. They gave up 262 rushing yards and 279 passing yards. TCU, frankly, didn’t look anything like the team that got to the College Football Playoff last season. Sanders entered his postgame press conference proclaiming “I got receipts!” Not being up on modern slang, I’m not sure what that means. Some humility – even just a little – would go a long way toward making Sanders less of a polarizing figure. But humility is not his game. ‌ What we learned from Auburn's opener What did we learn from Auburn's romp over UMass? Not a lot in terms of how the Tigers will stand up against the behemoths on the schedule. But there were sights and sounds of significance. --The Tigers did not get a presnap penalty or have a turnover. That's impressive in any game. It's particularly impressive in a season-opener with a new head coach and dozens of new players. --Hope has been rekindled in Auburn people. That showed in the largest crowd in Jordan-Hare Stadium history. --After hearing them talk, it is clear Auburn players are strongly connected to their coaching staff. --Head coach Hugh Freeze is strongly connected to Auburn. --Good days on the field are coming. Will they come this season? We still don't know. ‌ FCS teams can no longer keep up It used to be that FCS teams occasionally knocked off FBS teams, even Power 5 teams. With the transfer portal often taking away the top talent from FCS programs, those opportunities appear to be dwindling. Over the weekend, FCS teams were 0-42 against FBS opponents. ‌ Why travel across the country? What is Auburn doing traveling across the country to play Cal? In reality, it doesn’t make much sense. It’s a grueling trip to play a team good enough to beat you. Why do it? I’ve said it many times: If I was an AD in the SEC, my team would never lose a nonconference game. If you are good enough to be a contender, the SEC schedule provides all the opportunity you need. The one exception might be one of those made-for-TV season-openers against another power team on a neutral field. ‌ Former Malzahn assistants run their own shows What do SMU coach Rhett Lashlee and Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham have in common? They were both offensive coordinators at Auburn. Though neither was officially fired, both were not wanted back by Malzahn – Lashlee after the 2016 season and Dillingham after the 2019 season, his only Auburn season. If you count Eliah Drinkwitz, who was an Auburn quality control coach in 2010 and 2011, three of Malzahn’s former Auburn staffers are or will be next season Power 5 head coaches. ‌ Sunday college football I watched some of Rutgers’ season-opening 24-7 win over Northwestern on Sunday. When they showed the stands, my first thought was what if they had a football game and no one showed up. The crowd was pitiful. I was curious to see how Northwestern would look after all that has happened. The answer: Like a team that might be fortunate to equal last season’s 1-11 record. Oregon State, one of the two Power 5 orphans, went on the road and dominated San Jose State in much more convincing fashion than USC did at home last week. ‌ Elijah McAllister, a transfer from Vanderbilt, played at Jordan-Hare Stadium for the first time Saturday. And he was blown away. “I heard so much about it, and it was everything I could have imagined and more – the energy of the fans and Tiger Walk," McAllister said. "It was just amazing. I’m so blessed to be here.” Quarterback Robby Ashford was not surprised. “It's the best atmosphere in the country," Ashford said. "I'll argue that with anyone. Our fans, the student section, everybody was great. Thankfully, we came out on the other end with a win. Hopefully, there's many more to come.” Until next time ... VIDEO: Breaking down Auburn's addition of DeAndre Carter Breaking down Auburn's addition of massive offensive lineman DeAndre Carter. It was an offensive line weekend for Auburn football recruiting, with the addition of 2025 tackle Spencer Dowland on Saturday and Top247 swing lineman DeAndre Carter on Sunday. For Carter, it was a long time coming after taking an official visit in June and then returning again for Big Cat Weekend when he decided that Auburn was the spot for him.

si.com LB Eugene Asante shares what worked for Auburn's defense on Saturday Zac Blackerby ~2 minutes Eugene Asante looked great in Auburn's season opener. The former North Carolina Tar Heel started his second season on the Plains and was a fixture of the Auburn defense in Saturday's win over the UMass Minutemen. He led Auburn with six tackles, he was also credited with half a sack and 1.5 tackles for loss in the defensive effort. “Overall, I think the defense performed well for the first game," Asante said. "We came out and showed a little glimpse of what we could do. There are detailed aspects that we need to fine-tune, but other than that the guys gave a lot of effort, and if we can continue to fine-tune those aspects, we can be really special.” UMass marched down the field with their first possession of the game to tie the game at 7-7. Auburn's defense buckled down and shut down the scoring until late in the action. “We settled into the game a little more," Asante explained. "On that first drive, a lot of guys were antsy for the first game, which comes with a very hyped crowd. The first team settled down and was able to make adjustments by playing hard and loose." The Auburn Tigers defense will have a bigger task at hand when they travel to take on a Cal offense on the road this Saturday. The Golden Bears went on the road to play at North Texas. Cal put up 58 points in their season opener. Engage with Auburn Daily on Socials!

auburnwire.usatoday.com Auburn is surging for elite 2025 RB Alvin Henderson JD McCarthy ~2 minutes Whenever Auburn running back coach Cadillac Williams identifies a running back that he wants the chances are pretty good that Auburn will land that player. There’s also a great chance that they will produce when they make it to the Plains. It worked with Jaquez Hunter and it’s early but Damari Alston and Jeremiah Cobb both look like future studs for Auburn. Buy Tigers Tickets The player that Williams and Auburn have singled out in the 2025 recruiting cycle is Alvin Henderson and they are now surging for him. Henderson was back on Auburn’s campus for the season opener against UMass, the fourth time he has visited since they hired Hugh Freeze. This visit was enough for On3’s Chad Simmons to log a prediction for Henderson to commit to Auburn. That prediction gives them an 88.2% chance of landing him, according to On3’s recruiting prediction machine. Henderson is the No. 88 overall player and No. 8 running back in the On3 industry ranking. The Elba product is also the No. 9 player from Alabama. He is coming off of a dominant sophomore season in which he rushed for 2,636 yards and 47 touchdowns in 12 games.

saturdaydownsouth.com Hugh Freeze reminds Auburn players to always celebrate victories in life and football Keith Farner | 15 hours ago ~3 minutes Hugh Freeze got his first win as Auburn’s coach on Saturday, and part of his message to his players after the game was to always celebrate when that happens. “Don’t you ever in life, don’t you ever in football, don’t you ever with your family, don’t you ever, ever, ever forget to celebrate when you have victories,” Freeze said. “I don’t care how it comes, they’re hard to come by in life. They’re hard to come by in life, they’re hard to come in college football, they’re hard to come by. So man, you celebrate it.” Auburn got the win thanks in part to 3 first-half touchdowns from Robby Ashford as he was used in red-zone packages to complement new starter and Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne. Thorne threw for 141 yards and a touchdown in his first Auburn game. As Freeze suggested earlier in the week, Auburn would be a running team this season, and Saturday showed some of that potential. Damari Alston scored a rushing touchdown on the Tigers’ first drive, and freshman Jeremiah Cobb broke a 42-yard touchdown run on the second carry of his college career. The Tigers rushed for 294 yards. Keith Farner A former newspaper veteran, Keith Farner is a news manager for Saturday Down South. Follow on Twitter.

USA TODAY Sports names Hugh Freeze a ‘winner’ following first game at Auburn Taylor Jones Sun, September 3, 2023 at 11:30 AM CDT·2 min read 1 The first game day of the Hugh Freeze era ended just as sweetly as it began. Freeze said after Auburn’s 59-14 win over UMass that his day got started with several text messages from past colleagues at Ole Miss, Arkansas State, and Liberty, and it continued with his family getting to take part in Tiger Walk. After the game, the celebration continued as upwards of 30 family members joined Freeze at his home for a postgame dinner. Auburn fans call the first day of a new era a success, and it is relieving to see that members of the national media share the same sentiment. Paul Myerberg of USA TODAY Sports released his “Week 1 college football winners and losers” list Sunday morning and the Tigers head coach has made it to the winners column. The Freeze era at Auburn kicked off with a 59-14 win against Massachusetts, which was fresh off a Week 0 upset of New Mexico State. While three quarterbacks combined for a pedestrian 203 yards on 14 of 25 passing, most from starter Payton Thorne, six players ran for at least 30 yards as the Tiger racked up 289 rushing yards and six scores. It is refreshing to see Auburn on the positive side of Myerberg’s list, which has not been the case over the last two years. Freeze addressed quarterback performance Saturday, in which he said that Thorne “made three mistakes.” Robby Ashford showed his athleticism by scoring three touchdowns in the special red zone package designed for him. The bright side is that neither quarterback committed a turnover, which is a positive heading into the rest of the season. The Tigers will work on their craft this week before traveling to California for a late-night showdown with the Cal Golden Bears on Saturday night.

i did that myself! man that was a pretty pass and catch. i think thorne will be a lot better after he has that first game under his belt and they allow more of the "O" they have not used yet.
