    Auburn football's road loss against the No. 9 Texas A&M Aggies at Kyle Field was marked by one thing above all else: another offensive performance that failed to get the job done.

    The silver lining for head coach Hugh Freeze and company is finding a way to get the job done against No. 5 Georgia at Jordan-Hare Statdium in two weeks would result in the Texas A&M performance being forgotten.

    Freeze is aware that the Tigers have plenty of work to do to give themselves a chance to make that happen.

    "We have two weeks to prepare for Georgia, and we'll take time to reevaluate everything related to our offense. How we prepare, personnel, everything," Freeze said. "This isn't on Jackson (Arnold) or any other player. It's on our staff, and that starts with me to fix it."

    Freeze reemphasized how he is not putting the blame for the performance on his players, and added how he still believes in the unit's potential.

    "We got too good of skilled players and quarterbacks and running backs," Freeze said. "I think we are solid on the o-line too, but we certainly are not playing like it. That falls on me and the staff to figure out why. Thank God we've got two weeks to get ready."

    Freeze acknowledged how detrimental the penalties called on the offense were and how that consistent struggle needs attention, particularly when playing on the road.

    "The pre-snap ones are just unacceptable," Freeze said. "The holdings and the other ones, it's hard to know until you watch the film. The pre-snap ones, they've hurt us every road game we've had.

    It's back to the drawing board for Freeze and the Tigers' offense, and a lot is riding on their ability to figure out a path forward prior to the Georgia game.

    "It was unacceptable the way we played, and again, that's not on the kids," Freeze said.
