Hugh Freeze eviscerated on social media after Auburn's Cupcake Week loss to New Mexico State
Hugh Freeze has done a great job with Auburn in Year 1 of his tenure on The Plains. After thumping Arkansas last year, the Tigers secured a bowl berth with win No. 6.
They were supposed to easily land win No. 7 on Saturday at home for a Cupcake Week showdown against New Mexico State. Apparently no one told the Aggies they were supposed to be cupcakes, though.
Auburn’s offense struggled all game long. New Mexico State not only won, but won convincingly in Jordan-Hare Stadium.
After the 31-10 loss, social media was abuzz with criticism of Freeze. Here’s a sampling of what was said after one of Auburn’s worst losses in recent years (and that’s saying something):

Hugh Freeze is good for one of these every year.
Didn’t think it would be THIS one though

Hugh Freeze is still working for Liberty now that he's gone. Getting rolled up by NMSU at home is the only good thing that's happened all year to the Libs' resume

Hear me out: Hugh Freeze knows Auburn has no chance in hell next week, so what he has decided to do is sabotage Alabama’s strength of schedule by losing to New Mexico State.

Hugh Freeze looking crazy out there. He got nobody to blame but himself.

Crazy things happen in Jordan-Hare Stadium. We all know that. It’s just that, usually, the weirdness benefits the Tigers.
What a disappointing loss for Auburn and Freeze heading into the Iron Bowl. Can the Tigers shake this loss off quickly?
