Episode 415: Déjà Vu (Cal Recap)

Justin and Dan spend the majority of the show breaking down Auburn football’s continued offensive woes with Hugh Freeze and Payton Thorne against bowl-quality opponents. They look at how the Tigers’ problems in the 21-14 loss go beyond just one player or position group — and how it’s on the staff to make fixes ASAP.

The guys also look at how Auburn’s defense struggled early and made the necessary adjustments, especially in the secondary and in the pass rush. They discuss how the defensive turnaround is a sign for improvement for the team as a whole, but there’s a lot of work to do after another home loss as a double-digit favorite.

The episode concludes with a look at what else happened in a wild Week 2 of college football, with a few programs — including ones on Auburn’s schedule — sharing in some relative misery this weekend. Justin also breaks some music news to Dan.
