Hugh Freeze provides early evaluation of Auburn's QB room during spring practice

Auburn has completed three spring practices already this offseason, which has given new head coach Hugh Freeze his first look at his quarterbacks. Robby Ashford, TJ Finley, and Holden Geriner will all be competing for the Tigers’ starting job this offseason, and Freeze gave his early thoughts on his group has looked.

“The same thing that I said prior, they love what we’re doing,” Freeze said. “I think they love our approach to coaching them, we’re rotating them, giving them all the same equal opportunities.”

Freeze previously mentioned that there’s no frontrunner heading into his quarterback battle and that all three players are on an equal playing field and will receive equal amounts of rotational reps. And though three practices that seems unchanged, as each QB has shown some positives and negatives.

“There were some good things and there were some not so good things, and it’s the not so good things. Can we get more consistent at doing the better things and three practices is really not enough, but I’ve seen some good things from all three,” Freeze said.

Ashford naturally would be the frontrunner for the job with Finley winning the starting job last fall camp and starting last season before being replaced by Ashford in Week 4. Ashford showed off his dual-threat abilities in his nine starts last season for the Tigers, but according to Freeze, not many quarterbacks were able to show off their talents in their last practice due to inclement weather.

“Truthfully the last one, that was a tough one to judge them on because that Friday that wind, it was an issue for throwing the football for sure for everybody,” Freeze said. “But anxious to get back out with them, love their approach, have seen some good things for sure from all three.”

After just a handful of practices, the Tigers will take a week off for spring break before hitting the ground running again for spring practice. Auburn had one of the four worst scoring offenses in the SEC last season and the threw for the lowest yards per game in the conference with 172.7 per game. Freeze’s quarterbacks will get a nice break this week, and hopefully come back ready to turn the tables on Auburn’s anemic offense from a season ago.
