Auburn Football Looking To ‘Set the Tone’ in Tuesday Practice Before Iron Bowl

The Auburn Tigers need to quickly get back on track following their loss to New Mexico State.

The 31-10 thrashing was one of the worst losses in recent Auburn history. There were no turnovers, no special teams magic, no wild, chaotic, once in a blue moon type of plays that aided the Aggies in their win.

It was simply a complete whipping by a Group of Five team.

Now heading into Iron Bowl week, Auburn and Hugh Freeze have to find a way to refocus quickly. Alabama may prove to be the biggest challenge to Auburn on their schedule this season.

In order to rebound this weekend, Freeze said practice on Tuesday have to "set the tone" for the matchup vs Alabama.

"Tuesday’s practice needs to be physical," Freeze said. "It needs to set the tone of what this game is going to be like. You’re going to get punched in the mouth in this game, and you need to be ready to respond. It’s going to be a test of your will, and you physically also. And so Tuesday needs to be - it can’t be that totally, but it needs to set that tone."

Auburn finishes up the 2023 regular season at home this Saturday, November 25th, against Alabama in the Iron Bowl. Kickoff is at 2:30 pm CT on CBS.
