The moment Auburn fans have waited for since last November is finally here… [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] is set to coach his first game as Auburn’s leading man on Saturday.
It has been six years since Freeze has led an SEC team into battle, and he says he may need a moment to soak it all in.
“I really haven’t thought about that a lot. I soak in every game pretty much,” Freeze said Monday. “Even at Liberty, we played in SEC arenas. Those are always fun to play in, and I embrace those opportunities. I think the most exciting thing to me is taking in what I consider to be one of the best home atmospheres in college football. I don’t know that I’ve had that, no offense to any other places that I’ve been, but I don’t think I’ve ever been at a place that has quite the enthusiasm, passion and energy that Jordan-Hare is going to have. I will take a moment to take that in.”
What else did Freeze say ahead of Saturday’s game? Here’s a look back at everything Freeze said during Monday’s press conference.
