Road game at Cal creates a game week that's a 'little different' for Auburn

Auburn's trip to Cal this weekend will be the farthest Hugh Freeze has ever had to travel for a game.

A road game that requires a team to travel just less than 2,500 miles is all but typical. Heck, since joining the college coaching ranks in 2006, Freeze has never had to travel that far for a single game.

The Tigers traveled to Arizona in 1976 for a ball game that also kicked off at 9:30 p.m. CT, or 7:30 p.m. PT. And contrary to what many might assume, Monday’s Labor Day holiday might’ve helped the Tigers set the foundation for their abnormal week ahead. “We’re trying to get through practice and meetings a bit earlier today to try to gain some extra rest and maybe some extra game planning today,” Freeze said. “This week’s a little different so we’re trying to get a jump-start.”

“The hard day’s going to be, really, Saturday, sitting around,” Freeze said. “That’s a long time before kickoff.”
