It is one thing not to perform well in the regular season, and it is another thing to lose against your historic rival in a storied Bowl game. Auburn Tigers' head coach Hugh Freeze has done both.
As the Tigers' head coach, Freeze appeared in two Iron Bowl games against their rival Alabama and lost both times. Salt to the wound were two losing seasons with it.
Will the third time be a charm for Freeze? Looking at all the hot-seat pressure surrounding him, it does seem like a long shot.
ESPN's Heather Dinich, however, feels this Iron Bowl would be lucky for Auburn's squad.
