The Auburn Tigers host the California Golden Bears on Saturday afternoon at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn. If you’re wondering how to watch the game live, you’ve come to the right place.
Auburn (1-0, 0-0 SEC) picked up its first win of the season last week, beating Alabama A&M 73-3. Next up is California (1-0, 0-0 ACC), which also picked up a season-opening win last weekend against UC Davis. This game is the final game of a home-and-away series that began last season in Berkeley, which Auburn won 14-10. This season, former Cal quarterback Sam Jackson V is on the sidelines at wide receiver for Auburn. Head coach Hugh Freeze said earlier this week that Jackson might be his best adviser this week.
“I might talk to him. I see what they’re doing and I think I have a good feel for what they’ve done. I don’t know exactly when they’re going to do it, but I know if we put 12 guys out there. The defensive players don’t change all that much in that you treat 12 guys like that as opposed to 11 or 10 guys. Now your fronts are going to be a lot different. I don’t know if Sam would have any idea when they’re going to go into the Bears front or when they’re going to go into a balanced front. Our defensive players will probably talk to him more than I do.”
