Mixed feelings are evident following the difficult loss over the weekend, according to the most recent Auburn Tigers News. Even after an intense 21-14 loss to Cal, 4-star defensive tackle Malik Autry is unwavering in his devotion to Auburn. Autry was upbeat, saying the defeat hadn’t changed his thoughts about staying with the squad. “It doesn’t make me less committed, I would say. We have capable coaches on staff who can make a difference,” Autry told Auburn Rivals.
After a challenging game with little offensive success and some defensive tweaks, Auburn is now concentrating on their next game, which is against New Mexico.
Coach Hugh Freeze also gave updates on the injuries that some of the game’s star players had received. Izavion “Too Tall” Miller, an offensive lineman, and wide receiver Cam Miller and Coleman both had injuries; Miller’s ailment involved his hip, while Coleman’s concerned his shoulder. Miller’s ailment, which worsened during the game, is unlikely to keep him out of the game for the full season, although Freeze did concede that he might miss the following one. Coleman’s injury, which happened late in the game, is not as serious, and if he recovers, he should be able to play against New Mexico.
“Miller’s injury is not season-ending, though it is doubtful that he will play next week,” Freeze stated. Coleman’s range of motion in his shoulder will determine when he returns, according to Auburn Undercover.
