With Auburn in full camp mode and 30 days from its season opener at Baylor, writer Kevin Scarbinsky joined The Auburn Undercover Podcast to examine the Tigers' progress, depth, and the challenges that will define their season. Scarbinsky discussed Hugh Freeze's approach to camp, including his emphasis on building quarterback confidence by tailoring practice reps. "I don't know that I've ever heard a coach put it quite that way," he said, noting how Freeze wants his quarterback to "walk off the field feeling good about himself." The conversation also highlighted Auburn's offensive upgrades. Jackson Arnold's SEC experience provides stability at quarterback, while depth at running back and wide receiver could give Freeze more flexibility. "The roster is better across the board," Scarbinsky said. "If they can navigate September, this team has a chance to make real noise." Defensively, Scarbinsky pointed to Keldric Faulk's development and DJ Durkin's aggressive approach. He emphasized that early tests at Baylor, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma will reveal how quickly Auburn can put its talent together. "If they can get out of that stretch 2-1," Scarbinsky added, "it changes the outlook for the entire season."
