Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers have a tough decision to make at the quarterback position after the first fall camp scrimmage.
On Saturday, it was believed that redshirt freshman quarterback Holden Geriner took first-team reps and led the offense well. Last year’s starting quarterback, Robby Ashford, struggled in his second-team reps.
On Monday morning, WJOX 94.5’s Greg McElroy and Cole Cubelic talked about the quarterback controversy that took place on Saturday.

“Me personally,” Cubelic said, “I don’t think this reshuffles the order of quarterbacks. I don’t think this means that Holden Geriner is No. 1 or Robby Ashford is now No. 1.”
Ashford is the most experienced quarterback for Auburn as he completed 123-of-250 of his passes for 1,613 yards, 7 touchdowns, 7 interceptions and a quarterback rating of 107.
Freeze was prepared to cut the competition for the starting quarterback position down the day before the scrimmage but changed his mind afterward.
“Yesterday, I had my mind made up,” Freeze said. “And after today, I need to watch the film before I say.”
This is a quarterback battle that will likely last throughout the entire fall camp.
