Hugh Freeze goes off on official for missed call
Hugh Freeze got heated in the middle of Auburn’s matchup against Arkansas for what he thought was a missed holding call.
Despite Freeze giving the officials a piece of his mind on what he thought should have been an obvious flag, there was not one thrown. It appears that Freeze is saying that he thought one of his players was “suplexed” by an Arkansas defender.
Here’s a look at the play that the controversial no-call occurred and Freeze’s reaction to it:

The missed flag was perhaps the least of Auburn’s concerns looking back at the game as a whole, considering the poor play at quarterback from Hank Brown, who was benched after throwing 3 interceptions and some questionable play-calling, just to name a couple of things.
“They’re not defined by performance as an individual,” Freeze said of Brown after the game. “He did not play well in the first half. Missed open guys, threw the ball into coverage, so we’re not doing a very good job coaching quarterbacks right now.“
It will be interesting to watch what Freeze chooses to do moving forward, though it’s clear Auburn has a lot of fixing to do. The Tigers face Oklahoma in Week 5.
Welcome to the club.
Auburn looks terrible and cannot compete in the SEC.
auburns looks very bad. Time to pay Freeze to not coach.
I didn’t know it was legal for the Arkansas offensive lineman to tackle the Auburn d-lineman? Also it seems it is legal to run into the Arkansas punter by an Auburn player. Can’t the SEC afford some decent referees?
Officiating was terrible on both sides. Refs threw flags when there shouldn’t have been one, didn’t call obvious penalties, and were inconsistent on replay reviews. Hogs outplayed us, but the refs made horrible decisions that went against both teams
Anyone else starting to think Hugh Freeze is coasting off the wins against Alabama from a decade ago?
This Auburn team looks worse than some of the Harsin coached teams.
So Auburn is playing Arkansas and AU is the one complaining about the refs – after ALL the times AR got hosed by them playing at AU? How ironic. As much as I am a HOG fan – we basically watched two [at that time] 2-1 that are not all that good.
Freeze is STILL living off the 2015 Ole Miss in Tuscaloosa where bama had 5 turnovers that night – now we are back to reality in 2024 – calling out refs is just the Freeze DEFLECTION STRATEGY to get fans to look away from the dumpster fire reality with the QB Receivers etc.
