Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze faced criticism after his team's 24-14 loss to Arkansas, particularly regarding his remarks about the quarterbacks' performance. Freeze's comments suggested a need to find a quarterback who wouldn't make costly mistakes, as Payton Thorne and Hank Brown combined for four interceptions during the game. Former Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace, who played under Freeze, publicly lambasted the coach for blaming his players, questioning whether anyone would want to play for him after being 'thrown under the bus' so often. Wallace also expressed disappointment over Freeze's lack of accountability, suggesting that the coach only emphasizes his own contributions during victories. The Tigers are now 2-2 for the season, raising concerns about the team's direction and quarterback situation. Freeze, while acknowledging the mistakes, maintained that his players are not defined solely by their performance but emphasized the need for improvement.
