Former Auburn football defensive coordinator Derek Mason was relatively bearish on the Tigers’ expectations ahead of the 2023 season — predicting a 7-5 record while speaking to On3’s Nick Kosko.
“I think 7-5,” Mason said when asked to give an Auburn football record prediction. “I think we understand what their quarterback situation is. We understand that this unit right now is somewhat saddled a little bit in terms of where they sit, but I think what they did in recruiting, what they did in recruiting was outstanding. And they did a good job in the portal and getting (Payton) Thorne and making sure you know really that they can get some competition in the quarterback room.
