Auburn’s Hugh Freeze gets booed off the field after lost to Kentucky
The boo birds were in full force following Auburn football’s loss to Kentucky.
Auburn football fans didn’t hold back their frustration after watching the latest setback of the Hugh Freeze era.
Following Auburn’s 10-3 loss to Kentucky on Saturday, Nov. 1 at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Montgomery, Alabama, Tigers fans greeted Freeze with boos and “Fire Hugh” chants as he trotted off the field into the locker room.
The loss for the Tigers is their fifth loss in their last six games and comes against a Kentucky squad that entered the night alongside them at the bottom of the SEC standings with a 1-5 record in conference play.
Freeze made a change at quarterback going into the Nov. 1 game by giving the start to Stanford transfer Ashton Daniels over Jackson Arnold. Daniels completed 13 of 28 passes for 108 yards and an interception in the first half while Auburn had just 117 total yards of offense.
Auburn didn’t improve much on offense in the second half, as Kentucky’s defense held the Tigers to zero points and just 124 total yards of offense — seven more yards than it had in the first half alone — in the final 30 minutes.
The loss for the Tigers drops them to 1-5 in SEC play this season and 6-16 in SEC play all-time under Freeze.
