Hugh Freeze is set to lead Auburn against his former team for the first time. The slumping Tigers host 13th-ranked Ole Miss on Saturday trying to snap a three-game losing streak. Freeze led the Rebels program for five seasons before leaving amid off-the-field scandals. Lane Kiffin's Rebels have won two straight to remain in SEC West contention.

Ole Miss has won two straight SEC West games since a loss to No. 11 Alabama, remaining in contention for the division title. The Rebels haven’t won back-to-back games over Auburn since capping three straight victories in 1952, a game played in Memphis. “I just think having played there here, having played there at Alabama, just sometimes has some kind of magical things happen in it,” Kiffin said. “They’re always sold out. The fans seem to be into it from the beginning on, and they seem to play better there, especially at night.”Freeze’s return to the SEC came more than five years after his Ole Miss tenure ended.
