Vanderbilt announces matchup vs Auburn will be homecoming /

In this story:

Auburn will play Vanderbilt for the first time since 2016 this fall.

The Tigers have yet to play the Commodores in Nashville since 2012 and haven't won there since 2003.

Vandy decided that now, with the Tigers ushering in a new coaching staff and a plethora of new players on both sides of the ball, they should make the game mean just a little bit more.

Per Vanderbilt Athletics, the Commodores' matchup with Auburn on November 4th is officially homecoming.

Hugh Freeze was 3-2 against Vanderbilt during his time at Ole Miss.
