Kentucky Sacks Auburn Seven Times in 10–3 Upset as 'Fire Hugh' Chants Grow

Auburn's QB shuffle produced three points, heightening scrutiny of Hugh Freeze before Vanderbilt.

Overview

  • Kentucky beat Auburn 10-3 at Jordan-Hare Stadium for its first SEC victory of the season and its first win over the Tigers since 2009.
  • Auburn managed 241 total yards with just one red-zone trip and allowed seven sacks to a Wildcats defense that had struggled all year.
  • Ashton Daniels started at quarterback, Jackson Arnold took over in the fourth quarter, and Daniels returned for the final drive that ended with an interception.
  • Home fans booed and chanted “Fire Hugh” as Freeze exited, with Auburn dropping to 4-5 overall and 1-5 in SEC play.
  • Hugh Freeze called the offensive performance unacceptable and cited protection breakdowns, while senior lineman Jeremiah Wright publicly backed his coach ahead of next week’s game at Vanderbilt.
