Episode Details

BREAKING: Auburn has officially handed the keys to true freshman Deuce Knight, naming him the starting quarterback against Mercer this Saturday. The buzz is real and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this episode of the Auburn Express, we break down what this decision means for Auburn’s offense, what to expect from Knight’s first start, and how Coach Hugh Freeze’s staff has handled the development of young quarterbacks.

Deuce Knight enters the game as Auburn’s “future,” but can he deliver right now? After limited snaps earlier in the season and a few shaky ball security moments, fans are watching closely to see if the talented freshman can rise to the moment. We dive deep into the coaching philosophy, offensive strategy from Derrick Nix, and how Auburn plans to balance the run game with Jeremiah Cobb to ease Knight into action.

Will Knight’s debut showcase his big arm or a more conservative approach built around short throws and play action? And what does this mean for Jackson Arnold, who’s also expected to see the field against Mercer?
