There is a lot of pressure on head coach Hugh Freeze heading into his third year with Auburn football. So far, he has ended two seasons on the Plains with losing records, and with increased talent and a new quarterback, fans are expecting more this year.
The Tigers' schedule looks a little different this year with the season opener taking place on a Friday night. Rather than starting the year with a game against a smaller school, it will be Auburn vs. Baylor in a primetime matchup to kick off the football season, and, according to Paul Finebaum, it's the most important game they will play this year.
