Auburn Football Poised for Historic 2023 Season

Buckeyes brace for tough test against resurgent Tigers

The Auburn Tigers football team is poised for a historic 2023 season under the leadership of first-year head coach Hugh Freeze. After a disappointing 6-7 finish in 2022, Freeze has brought a renewed sense of energy and excitement to the program.

Key Additions and Departures

The Tigers have made several key additions and departures during the offseason. Among the most notable additions are:

• Quarterback Robby Ashford (transfer from Oregon)
• Wide receiver Ja'Varrius Johnson (transfer from Miami)
• Defensive end Eku Leota (transfer from Texas A&M)

Auburn also lost some key players to the NFL Draft, including All-American linebacker Owen Pappoe and starting quarterback T.J. Finley.

High Expectations for New Coach

Freeze has a proven track record of success as a college football head coach. He led Ole Miss to a Sugar Bowl victory in 2015 and guided Liberty to bowl games in each of his four seasons at the helm. Auburn fans are hoping that Freeze can bring the program back to national prominence.

Tough Schedule Ahead

The Tigers will face a tough schedule in 2023, including non-conference games against Penn State and Mercer. They will also face SEC rivals such as Alabama, Georgia, and Texas A&M. If Auburn can navigate its challenging schedule, it has the potential to make a run at the College Football Playoff.

Buckeyes Prepare for Auburn Clash

The Ohio State Buckeyes are also preparing for a tough test against the Tigers. The Buckeyes are coming off a disappointing loss to Michigan in the College Football Playoff semifinals. They will be looking to rebound in 2023 and make a run at the national championship.

The Buckeyes and Tigers will face off on September 16th in Columbus, Ohio. The game is expected to be a close and competitive affair. The winner of the game will have a major advantage in the race for the Big Ten and SEC championships.
