Having so many options at quarterback and running back isn't a bad problem to have. But it does present a challenge for Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze.
Through two games this season, the Auburn Tigers have used six different running backs and three different quarterbacks. And while having depth at those spots is nothing you’ll hear a coach gripe about, it does sometimes present challenges.
“The other night was not something I’m okay with,” Freeze said of the QB rotation during the SEC’s weekly teleconference on Wednesday. “Hopefully he’ll start taking hold of that and showing that and improving that,” Freeze said. “But at the same time, Holden and Robby are sure nipping at his heels wanting their chance too. I think these next few weeks will play out and we’ll kinda know where we are for sure.”Unlike the quarterback room, the running back room doesn’t lack surefooted talent. Instead, it’s got too much of it.Hunter tallied 11 carries for 53 yards in a performance that looked “rusty” to Freeze.
“I love it every time he has the ball in his hands,” Freeze said Wednesday. “The problem is I like Jarquez, and I like Damari and I like Battie also. But Jeremiah has got something different to him and the stage, to this point, doesn’t appear too big for him. So I would only see his involvement growing, for sure. Not diminishing.”
