Hugh Freeze: The margin for error between winning and losing is ‘so small’ /

In this story:

Auburn Tigers

Coach Freeze held his weekly press conference on Monday and spoke on several facets of Auburn’s performance against Georgia during the “Deep South’s oldest Rivalry”.

The media have had time to become accustomed to Coach Freeze’s candid delivery during his press conferences, as is has been quite the breath of fresh air with so much transparency.

While Coach Freeze highlighted several areas where the Tigers could have performed better, and several where they performed to his standard, a significant comment stood out.

Freeze discussed the margins of error that he sees with his current roster situation with injuries and apparent talent gaps across the board.

Freeze said, "The margin for error for us winning and losing is so small against teams that have better rosters than us... If we can't do it, personnel-wise, get it out of the plan. If we can do it, coach it better."

The question now is how can the Tigers begin being on the right side of this margin as the progress further into SEC play? Has the bye-week helped to address this? We will certainly find out on Saturday in Baton Rouge when the Tigers take on LSU in Death Valley.
