Hugh Freeze reflects on Kick Six in 2013 Iron Bowl

The Kick Six will go down as one of the best moments in college football history.

As old as it has gotten for Alabama fans, Auburn fans will never tire of seeing it on social media at random points throughout the year.

It's one of the greatest plays in Auburn history, in one of the biggest games, in one of the best seasons the Tigers have ever had.

Current Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze was asked where he was when the Tigers' Chris Davis returned the missed field goal 103 yards for the miraculous Auburn victory.

"I was trying my best, I don't think that I saw it live," Freeze said. "We must have been either playing at the same time or on a flight back, I can’t remember. But I do remember, once I first saw it and found out, I couldn’t wait to call Gus (Malzahn) and say ‘man, you’ve got to explain to me how in the world that felt.’ That’s got to be one of the greatest all time, maybe greatest all time finish in college football? I think it's top three for sure. I mean, what finish that was."

Freeze was in his second season at Ole Miss at the time, having lost to the Tigers 30-22 in Jordan-Hare earlier that season. Former Auburn coach Gus Malzhan and Hugh Freeze had a relationship a decade ago and have maintained it through the seasons. Malzahn is now the head coach at UCF.
