Jayson Jones discussed what Auburn has to do in preparation for Cal
One of Auburn's most crucial games that will set the tone for the 2023 season is their matchup with the Cal Golden Bears.
This will be an interesting trip for Auburn as they will head to the west coast, which doesn't happen often for SEC teams.
Auburn defensive lineman Jayson Jones joined the Locked On Auburn Podcast and discussed his mindset for this game.
Host Zac Blackerby asked Jones about what Auburn needs to do in preparation for this matchup with Cal, and he responded, "I say we need to be prepared, but before then because I'm looking at every game now like it's a championship game. Like you have to prove something. I would say everyone knows that last year wasn't our most ideal year. That wasn't, I know, for fans, that wasn't so fun. I'm just going, to be honest. Yeah. So now I want to give a favor back to you guys, and we want to go 12-0. You should want to go 12-0. You want to win every single game. So, I'm treating every game like it's a championship game. Just go out there, dominate, get out."
This will be a big game for Auburn, and a victory over this PAC-12 foe could be the start to an eight-win season under first-year head coach Hugh Freeze.
ESPN FPI gives Auburn a 43.7% chance to win this game on the road, so this should be a fun ballgame.
Hopefully, Auburn will be able to get this massive victory over a power-five team to start the season 2-0.
