Head Coach Hugh Freeze Takes Blame for Improbable

For the third time this season, the Auburn Tigers dropped a game that felt winnable, falling 27-21 to the No. 21 Oklahoma Sooners.

Auburn had the lead for most of the game but a critical mistake in the fourth quarter cost it the game.

Head coach Hugh Freeze takes a lot of the blame for this loss on himself.

ā€œThis one stings for sure,ā€ Freeze said. ā€œIā€™ve got to help my team get over the edge when you have a chance to win a game like that. Proud of those young kids, I thought they played really well and started to mature some.ā€

Auburn had a stop on fourth down in the fourth quarter that put the offense back on the field with a two-possession lead. After a 22-yard run from Jarquez Hunter, ESPN had the Tigers' chance of winning at 97,4%, However, machines can't predict Auburn going away from the run and failing to run more than 90 seconds off the clock before missing a field goal.

ā€œRun the football and take as much time off the clock as we can up two scores,ā€ Freeze explained what Auburn should have done in that situation. ā€œThat possession stands out for sure and we should have had 10 more points in the first half.
