'We want to be tough, and we want to be physical,' Auburn interim coach Cadillac Williams said. 'So, I think one of the greatest things about the game of football is when your opponent knows you are running the ball, but you still impose your will.'
“I kind of want to get back to Auburn old-school football,” Williams said. “Auburn to me is about work, hard work. Auburn is about toughness, perseverance. We want to be tough, and we want to be physical. So, I think one of the greatest things about the game of football is when your opponent knows you are running the ball, but you still impose your will. It takes the fight out of a lot of teams.”
The same can’t be said for Auburn’s passing game, which has been all but absent in the last two games. Robby Ashford has completed just 13-of-35 passes for 135 yards during those two games, averaging a meager 3.86 yards per pass attempt with just one touchdown and a pair of interceptions. “That starts with me,” Williams said. “Someway, somehow, we’ve got to put those guys in a better position. We also have to make those throws whenever they are there and take advantage of the looks. Collectively, myself and coach Friend and coach Hilliard and coach Hartline, we have to be better. I let them know that. We also have to make plays out there too.”
