Takeaways from Coach Freeze’s post-game press conference after Cal
With the difficult road test against the Cal Golden Bears behind them, the Auburn Tigers can look ahead to a difficult practice come Monday morning.
Despite numerous miscues and offensive mistakes during this matchup against Cal, Auburn’s defensive efforts is what truly led to the win on Saturday evening at Memorial Stadium.
Coach Freeze made sure to highlight Coach Ron Roberts and the defensive staff and players. “I’m just really proud of our defense, and the plan that Ron and his staff had to just continue with our backs against the wall,” Freeze said.
Coach Freeze continued to pour on the praise for the defense adding that “It just seemed that time and time again they continued to find a way to get us out of trouble to give us the chance to win the game.” Freeze was very candid. “All credit should go to that side of the ball tonight.”
There was a slight price to pay with that defensive success however, as it was reported that junior safety Donovan Kaufman and junior cornerback Keionte Scott both sustained injuries during the contest.
Kaufman will be under a “concussion protocol” and Scott suffered from some cramping issues. These issues will likely be updated upon as the upcoming week progresses.
Coach Freeze will be performing some “Call Ups” this Monday to better address the issues that were present during Saturday evenings game, however it is likely that the offensive front will bear the majority of that burden as the defense played lights out against the Cal Golden Bears.
