Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze is reportedly battling an illness and had to travel separately from the team on their trip to Lexington to play Kentucky Saturday night. He is, however, expected to coach the team when they kick off at Kroger Field.
Freeze reportedly got food poisoning. Pete Thamel reported the news this morning on College Gameday and posted this to X as well.
