Auburn Tigers head coach Hugh Freeze continues with the multiple-play-caller strategy which has failed him all season long.

A big part of the team’s struggles has been quarterback play. QB Payton Thorne was benched and reinserted as the starter and has now been dealing with a shoulder injury. The QB suffered the injury against Vanderbilt, but recently told reporters that he probably could have played last week if necessary.

Make no mistake, nothing ULM wants to accomplish in the Plains will look complex or intricate on offense. Without a shadow of a doubt, the visitors from the Sun Belt want to establish the run. Behind freshman running back Ahmad Hardy, the Warhawks want to grind the Tigers down to dust.
