Auburn brought in over 40 new players for the 2023 season. Putting it together is Auburn's big challenge.
The box of a puzzle has a picture with the finished product on the cover. It’s to have a guide for putting all the various pieces of different shapes and sizes together.Auburn’s puzzle contains at least 40 pieces that weren’t here a year ago.

They come from highly regarded freshmen who could make an immediate impact.
When Freeze talked about putting tape on everyone’s helmet to learn names, he hadn’t yet named Michigan State transfer Payton Thorne as Auburn’s starting quarterback. Nor had he officially slated three transfers to start on his offensive line, two more up front on defense, another at linebacker and one of his starting receivers too.
