Auburn will play Cal in a true road game at 9:30 p.m. central time Saturday in Berkeley, California
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze celebrates a 59-14 win over the University of Massachusetts Saturday, Sept. 2, 2023, in Auburn, Alabama. Julie Bennett | [email protected]’s about as hard a turn as Auburn could make.
After the game, head coach Hugh Freeze had a short press conference where the subject of Hunter’s absence was not addressed. Hunter has practiced ever since. But in advance of the UMass game, Freeze was asked if Hunter would play. He stated that generally, he would not comment on who would and would not, play without specifically mentioning Hunter.
In his place, Champ Anthony, Kayin Lee and Donovan Kaufman saw a lot more playing time. Kaufman especially had a great game with a forced fumble, a sack and multiple tackles for loss. Mardner’s biggest ability for Auburn is that, well he’s big. He, fellow receiver Shane Hooks and tight end Rivaldo Fairweather are Auburn’s biggest targets, but the two who played had a total of two catches — and both were Hooks. Fairweather actually wasn’t targeted at all the whole game. There are a lot of reasons for that, namely Ashford being Auburn’s go-to guy in the redzone, taking away situations where the size of those pass-catchers would be especially impactful.There’s no way around it.
