“I heard so much about it and it was everything I could imagine and some,” said McAllister, who transferred in from Vanderbilt in the offseason. Freeze said Monday that he was expecting more of his family members at his Auburn debut than any other game he’s ever coached. “It’s valuable because their parents are here and their girlfriends are here and they practice their tail off and there’s no guarantee they get any snaps,” Freeze said. “We got a lot of kids in today.”
