When Auburn reached the red zone last season on offense, it was always a nervy time, and for good reason. The Tigers finished 109th in red zone offense, converting drives into points just 78.05 percent of the time, and scoring a touchdown in only 48.7 percent of the situations.
Hugh Freeze's offense has been much better through two games so far this season, completing four of five trips to the opposing red zone with touchdowns. So, what's the difference? The Auburn coach knows that is the difference between winning and losing games.
"It’s early, but I think I’m on record saying that there were games we could have won in the past couple of years that we have to own," Freeze said.
