Hugh Freeze said pregame he expects this Auburn football backup quarterback to see the field against Arkansas.

Auburn is in desperate need of a win after falling to 3-4, and head coach Hugh Freeze is desperate for a win with his back against the wall.

With a 14-18 record during his tenure and Auburn sitting at 0-4 in SEC play, coach Hugh Freeze faces mounting pressure as the Tigers prepare for a crucial matchup against the Razorbacks.

The Auburn Tigers and the Arkansas Razorbacks will square off on Saturday morning at Reynolds Razorback Stadium with both teams eyeing their first SEC win. However, that may not be the most important storyline to follow.

Hugh Freeze may be in his third year with Auburn, while Bobby Petrino is just the interim at Arkansas, but both are in similar situations in 2025.
