Auburn Tigers News: Hugh Freeze reacts to Missouri loss, Kentucky matchup info

In today's edition of Auburn Tigers News, head coach Hugh Freeze reacts to another disappointing loss and Auburn will take on Kentucky under the lights

Another week, another blown lead in the fourth quarter. It's become routine for the Auburn football team, at this point. Things looked good for the Tigers up until the fourth quarter, with Auburn holding a comfortable 17-6 lead over Missouri. And then, things fell apart, resulting in another SEC loss for the Auburn Tigers.

"Another disappointing day and bitter to know we're not able to get across the finish line against another top 20 team," Freeze said via Auburn Undercover after watching his team squander a 17-6 lead in the final quarter. "Give Missouri credit for not folding and continuing to battle. Our kids fought hard. We're not making enough plays. We're not making enough right calls at times to win these close games right now, obviously, and it's disappointing for the Auburn family. Disappointing for our administration, for our team, for our kids, our coaches. It's a difficult year where it seems nothing is going quite our way when you need it to."

Auburn heads into its next matchup against Kentucky with a 2-5 record, 0-4 in conference play.
