Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze explains two reasons why defensive backs were practicing with mitts on their hands this week. He also delves into what he expects to see from Ball State on defense this Saturday.
00:00Well it's two fold. One, we had two holding penalties on a critical third down and a critical fourth down that were legit. I mean, they were there. So we got to get our hands off of them. And then the second part in one-on-ones is we don't want to pull on our receivers down, you know, and get somebody injured. So that's, I don't think anything ever hurts with that because it forces them to play with good technique.
00:24What do y'all expect them from kind of ball state defensively? Like what they want to do? Well, they've been who they are last year and last week. So I don't, it's really hard to probably change that. And so, you know, when they're, I mean, they would base out of a quarters team, which most quarters teams, you know, safeties are active in the fit. And that's, and their safeties are physical guys that are, that, you know, you would expect them to be at least
00:54at least a semblance of, of who they are. And so, you know, I don't know that they're going to change that. But they could obviously play one high or, or do different things that we'll have to get in every, every game. There's all right, here's a new little flavor that, that we've got to adjust to as coaches for our kids. But I don't, I don't know that, that you can go all through fall camp and be who you are. And then all of a sudden totally change that. So I think it'll be a semblance of what we've seen.
