War Eagle, everybody! It’s time now for another Auburn football preview! On October 7th Auburn will host the Ole Miss Rebels. It’s another critical October matchup for both teams. A loss here would send Auburn tumbling towards the bottom of the bowls. For Ole Miss, there is no post-season this year, as they will sit out due to self-imposed penalties. Head coach Hugh Freeze says that the team will treat every game like a bowl game.
The Auburn Tigers will have opened the season with Georgia Southern, then traveled to Clemson. Auburn will then enjoy an early homecoming game against Mercer before traveling to Missouri, prior to a home clash with Mississippi State.
