Hugh Freeze is high on powder keg freshman RB, but might not be ready to replace Damari Alston yet

With Week 1 running back starter Damari Alston officially out for Week 2 due to his shoulder injury, the depth of Auburn's RB room becomes a primary worry just days away from facing Ball State.

In the Tigers' win against Baylor, both Alston and Jeremiah Cobb played a significant role, both scoring a touchdown each. Although Cobb is expected to start this weekend, Alston's absence could cost the squad big time.

That is particularly why Hugh Freeze's latest update of the Tigers' RB room, although being the best update there could be about a freshman RB, was merely a band-aid to a bullet wound.
