Auburn football: Hugh Freeze to appear on College Gameday before Texas A&M game

Hugh Freeze will appear on ESPN’s College Gameday pregame show Saturday before Auburn’s game against Texas A&M, the network announced in a tweet.

Host Rece Davis and the rest of the cast will conduct a live interview with Freeze during warmups at Kyle Field before the 11 a.m. central time kickoff. The game will be broadcast on ESPN, the same channel airing College Gameday.

The show will be broadcast from South Bend, Indiana this week ahead of a top-10 matchup between Notre Dame and Ohio State. Other guests on the show include former Notre Dame wide receiver, Heisman trophy winner and NFL Hall of Fame member Tim Brown as well as current Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman. Vince Vaughn — who played Jamie O’Hara in “Rudy”, the famous sports movie about Daniel “Rudy” Ruettiger and his dream to play on the Notre Dame football team — will be the celebrity guest picker on the show.

Freeze’s Ole Miss teams previously hosted the show in 2014 before beating Alabama 23-17.
