Auburn football is facing a full-blown crisis heading into their matchup with Missouri. After another frustrating loss to Georgia, the Tigers sit at a crossroads in Year 3 under head coach Hugh Freeze. Fans are asking the hard question — is this the week that determines whether Freeze keeps his job?

In this episode of The Auburn Express, Mike Gittens and Jacob Goins break down everything happening on the Plains. From Damari Alston’s sudden departure to Auburn’s collapsing offense, the discussion pulls no punches. Auburn has lost three straight SEC games and looks to avoid a fourth against a ranked Missouri team that boasts the SEC’s top rushing attack.

Despite a few controversial officiating moments, Auburn’s offensive execution has been the true problem. The Tigers are averaging just 331 yards per game, one of the lowest marks in the conference. Can Auburn find a spark, change its play-calling philosophy, and salvage the second half of the season? Or are the wheels completely off the bus?

Jacob and Mike debate whether a win versus Missouri changes anything long term — or just buys Hugh Freeze another week. With Kentucky, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, and Alabama still ahead, the road doesn’t get easier.
