Auburn football releases week one depth chart for UMass
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze spoke with the media during the Tigers' Monday press conference.
We were provided depth charts for the season opener against UMass, which included some surprises in the three-deep - largely due in part to various injuries, according to Freeze.
It should be noted that when asked about the depth chart the media had been provided, Freeze said he didn't know where it came from because he didn't put it together.
"I don't even have a depth chart," Freeze said. "I don't even know where that came from. I don't do depth charts."
