The Auburn Tigers picked up a win over the Arkansas Razorbacks in Week 9. That victory, for a brief second, quieted the noise around Hugh Freeze‘s job status. However, following Saturday’s performance versus the Kentucky Wildcats, that sound is set to come back with vengeance.
Auburn fell at 10-3 at home to Kentucky in Week 10. The Tigers posted a paltry 241 total yards of offense against the Wildcats in what can only be described as a disappointing showing. Unsurprisingly, Auburn’s student section wasn’t shy about voicing its displeasure. It chanted “Fire Hugh” throughout the fourth quarter of the Tigers’ loss.
Freeze now has a 15-23 record (.395 winning percentage) in almost 3 full seasons at Auburn. His SEC record is just 6-16 (.273 winning percentage).
The Tigers have been harmed by some brutal officiating breaks this season, but Saturday’s loss can’t be pinned on such issues. They were simply beaten by a now 3-5 (1-5 SEC) Kentucky team on their home turf, which their fanbase could easily consider to be the straw that broke the camel’s back for Freeze’s tenure on The Plains.
Auburn (4-5, 1-5 SEC) travels to Nashville to battle Vanderbilt in Week 11. Kickoff between the Tigers and Commodores is set for Saturday, Nov. 8 at 4:00 p.m. E.T. on SEC Network.
