Auburn entered Saturday's game against New Mexico State as 25.5-point favorites to beat the Aggies at home. Instead, the Tigers got trounced, ultimately falling to New Mexico State 31–10.
For Auburn coach Hugh Freeze, the loss was familiar territory. Last season, Freeze was coaching at Liberty when the Flames hosted the Aggies as 24-point favorites. In that game as well, Freeze’s team lost big—with a final score of 49–14.
If you are thinking those are two pretty big losses for a team that entered a game as a pretty big favorite, you would be correct. Historically so.
