We are set to speak to Hugh Freeze following Auburn's 17-7 loss to Vanderbilt.

Follow along and refresh for all updates.

*** Extremely disappoint again. This has been a too often story for us this year, for our players, for our fans. Thought our defense played their guts out. Probably did the best job against that squad all year. Outgained opponents again and not having anything to show for it.

*** On the boo birds: "I don't hear that. We're just not consistent enough. I thought our defense was playing at a high level. Offensively, we were not able to create explosive runs and seems like we were struggling to protect the passer."

*** Says the bench failed to keep its energy up on the sidelines.

*** "I thought Vandy did a good job. Played a lot of bear front. Thought they tackled extremely well. Have to watch the film and see how much we strained at the point of attack." - on running game being shut down

*** On Jarquez Hunter: "I don't think he was banged up, but he looked gassed."

*** On possibly changing play-calling duties: "No, I don't think we are at that point. Maybe limiting the scope of what we are trying to do."

*** On Payton Thorne and his shoulder issue: "I said you have to be honest with us and he said he was good to go, so you have to trust them."

*** "Finishing everything you do is important. It's easy to check out. They haven't checked out and continue to lay a future for this program." - on his players

*** On leverage penalty: "I better be careful here but that was certainly a critical call in the game and one I certainly disagree with."

*** On message to team to win out to reach a bowl game: "One practice at a time. We won't go down that road. Stacking days to get better."

*** Mentions the bad decision to call a timeout right before two minute warning.

That's it for Hugh. Try to enjoy the rest of your Saturday. Don't forget to turn the clocks back tonight.
