Auburn Falls to No. 16 Missouri in Double OT, Extending SEC Slide and Pressure on Hugh Freeze

Athletic director John Cohen says he does not expect to fire Freeze at this point.

Overview

  • Auburn lost 23-17 in double overtime after holding a fourth-quarter lead, marking a fourth consecutive SEC defeat.
  • The offense produced minus-5 yards in each overtime, missed a field goal in the first extra period, and Jackson Arnold was sacked five times.
  • Late-game issues persisted, with recent potential winning drives ending in sacks and stalled possessions.
  • Hugh Freeze addressed job security by saying he does not make those decisions and pledged to keep leading the team.
  • Freeze is 5-15 against SEC opponents with 11 losses in the last 13 league games, and AL.com reports his overall record at Auburn as 14-18.
