Will Hugh Freeze be on the sidelines for the Auburn game?

However, there has been an update to this story since the original post on social media.

ESPN's Pete Thamel posted on social media that Hugh Freeze would travel to Lexington and will be on the field to coach the Tigers:

"Hugh Freeze’s private plane has landed in Kentucky, per an ESPN source. He’s headed to the team hotel and plans to coach tonight."

Freeze will be leading an Auburn team that is in desperate need of a win. The Tigers have lost the last four games and are currently 0-4 against SEC teams.

A win against the Kentucky Wildcats, who have also been struggling recently, would do a lot for Freeze and the Tigers.

While it will not put the Tigers into contention for any playoff spot or a championship game, a victory may save Hugh Freeze's job, and give the team some momentum to bring into the final stretch of what has been a disappointing season.
