We are set to speak with Hugh Freeze following Auburn's 4-overtime victory over No. 15 Texas A&M.

Follow along and refresh for all updates.

*** "Thank you, Lord. He's good in wins and losses, but it still feels better when you win."

*** Been that type of year where you keep climbing cliffs. Proud that the locker room continues to fight. They have decided to fight to the finish.

*** Thankful for the fans. What an atmosphere they created tonight.

*** Mentions there are a lot of recruits in the locker room right now.

*** On Ian Vachon: "I hardly ever say anything to kickers particularly when they miss." Mentions he said to Ian that was the worst pass at the first FG kick. Said he bounced back and so proud of him. "What a story."

*** On difference on last drive: "We've gotten better and our young receivers have gotten better and Payton's playing better. I think our kids have started to play with a more will to win and believing that they can."

*** On no call on pass interference on KLS and then OPI on next play: "I've never wanted to fight so bad."

*** Situational football and message to team on final drive: "We felt pretty good offensively all night and they made some changes in the second half and put some pressure on us." Mentions Payton's scramble as a huge play. Really had a shot to win the game. Kept jumping offsides.

*** "Offensively, we have not produced the numbers that match what our average per play is but mentioned they did tonight. Auburn put up some huge stats against a great defense.

*** Mention Malcolm had some missed assignments early.

*** Jarquez on his last home game: "He's a fighter, a workhorse. An Auburn man."

*** Mentions he just wants to enjoy tonight. Says momentum is with them after the atmosphere and having all the recruits here.

*** On Demarcus Riddick: Mentions A&M had Tigers playing nickel a lot late in the game so Riddick wouldn't be on the field.

*** On giving up 21 points and then responding: "There's no game that is over. You knew they had players that would make a run. It wasn't going to be easy."

That's it for Hugh. Enjoy your Saturday night/Sunday morning.
