Auburn Tigers football coach Hugh Freeze came into the season with doubters thinking that having three offensive play-callers wouldn't work. In the team's fifth game of the season against the Texas A&M Aggies, the doubters had unlimited ammunition.
A week after being dinged for six false starts, two holding, and two delay of game penalties against the Oklahoma Sooners, the offensive line, particularly Xavier Chaplin, looked nervous and repeatedly halted drives and forward progress with more of the same. Jackson Arnold barely had a chance, but he certainly didn't do much through the air with the chances in the pocket in which he actually had time to throw.
