Although [autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] has a losing record against Nick Saban all-time, he does hold a rare accomplishment over Alabama‘s prestigious head coach.. two victories.
That is one reason why Athlon Sports will keep a close eye on this season’s Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The preseason publication picked out 12 games that could be viewed as the best in the SEC this season and included Auburn’s annual date with Alabama for the sole reason of a potential upset on the Plains.
Hugh Freeze had Nick Saban’s number during his time at Ole Miss. If he could deliver the home fans an upset in his first Iron Bowl, he might get a contract extension for life.
During his five-year stint at Ole Miss, Freeze went 2-3 against Saban’s Alabama teams. He led Ole Miss to back-to-back wins over the Crimson Tide in 2014 and 2015, and some view that as one reason why Auburn hired Freeze. The Tigers look to defeat Alabama for the first time since 2019 this season and will look to secure its fourth win in six tries over the Crimson Tide at home on Saturday, Nov. 25.
