A happy Coach Freeze sat down with the media and thanked the Lord following his Tigers’ overtime win.
Opening statement…
“Thank you, Lord. He’s good in wins and losses, but it sure feels better when you win. It’s been that kind of year where you just battle through and fight through, and you keep climbing those cliffs. One thing I am so proud of is our locker room and continuing to fight. No matter what people say, they have chosen to say that we are going to fight to the finish. There are cliffs that we have to climb, and there are opportunities for us to grow. Not only as players, but as men. I’m proud of how they’ve handled that with our staff. I’m thankful for our fans. They stuck with us, and what an atmosphere they’ve created for us to play and to honor our seniors. Going out in Jordan-Hare with a win like that, against what I think is a top-10 team roster wise, they’re really, really talented and really good. I give them a lot of credit for fighting back and making it the game it was. I’m just so thankful. Thankful to be at Auburn, and thankful to give our fans a win like that. Hopefully it’s a sign of many to come. Lots of recruits in that locker room. They need to come join us and help us to continue to build our roster so we can have more nights like this.”
