Ole Miss football vs. Auburn: Start time, TV channel announced for Lane Kiffin vs Hugh Freeze
OXFORD — The SEC announced the kickoff time and TV information for Ole Miss football's trip to Auburn on Oct. 21 on Monday.
The Rebels (5-1, 2-1 SEC) and Tigers (3-2, 0-2) will clash at 6 p.m. CT, and the game will air on ESPN.
Ole Miss took down Auburn, 48-34, last season, snapping a streak of six consecutive losses to the Tigers. It's a matchup that will be heavy on the storylines, with the Rebels set to take on former Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze. Lane Kiffin, of course, was heavily linked to the Auburn vacancy before the Tigers hired Freeze.
The Rebels will be riding a two-game winning streak into the contest. Auburn has yet to win its first conference game under Freeze, but will get another opportunity when it travels to LSU this week while Ole Miss rests up with an open weekend.
