ALERT: What would three wins in October mean for Auburn football and Alex Golesh? Everything changes. Auburn entered this brutal stretch with reasonable questions about whether the Tigers could simply survive October. But imagine Auburn finding three wins and entering November at 6 and 2.

ALERT: Auburn football has a chance to change the entire conversation around Alex Golesh's first season. Beat Tennessee on the road. Auburn's victory over Vanderbilt mattered. It moved the Tigers to 3 and 1 and gave fans another reason to keep believing. But one victory over Vanderbilt is not enough to prove Auburn football is headed where everybody wants it to go. A road SEC win would be differen...

Auburn football slow starts have become the thing I am watching closest as the Tigers get ready to go to Tennessee. Auburn has found ways to win football games, and I am not going to apologize for appreciating that. The ball has bounced Auburn's way a couple of times this season after spending years watching those same breaks go the other direction. Take the win. Celebrate it. But Alex Golesh is r...

ALERT: Auburn football beat Vanderbilt, but the way the Tigers won raises another major question about this offense. Why does Auburn seem to find its best plays only when it absolutely has to have them? The Tigers have struggled with slow starts, inconsistent offensive sequencing and an inability to consistently score touchdowns. Yet when Auburn reaches desperation mode, suddenly the offense can l...

WARNING: Auburn football cannot take this version of its first quarter offense on the road to Tennessee. The Tigers are winning games, but the slow starts are becoming impossible to ignore.

The opening scripts are not producing points, the running game has become predictable, and the offense too often seems to wait for Byrum Brow...

Alex Golesh was asked directly about using Byrum Brown more intentionally in the quarterback run game, and his answer makes it clear that Auburn is walking a fine line. Brown has the ability to create explosive plays with his legs, but A...

WARNING: Auburn football is 3 and 1, but the Tigers cannot allow winning close games to hide what is happening offensively. This offense has no rhythm. The conversation about Auburn's running backs is getting louder. Should Jeremiah Cobb get more carries? Should another back become RB1? Is Byrum Brown actually Auburn's most dangerous runner? Those questions are worth discussing, but they might be...

ALERT: Auburn football has a problem that is becoming impossible to ignore. The offensive line has to get better. Auburn found a way to beat Vanderbilt and move to 3 and 1, but the Tigers are entering a brutal stretch of SEC football with an offense that still has major issues in both the running and passing games. The rushing attack needs more diversity. Auburn continues to hammer between the tac...

WARNING: Auburn football found a way to beat Vanderbilt, but there is one issue that simply cannot continue if this offense is going to reach its potential. The running game has to get fixed. Jeremiah Cobb finished the Vanderbilt game averaging 7.3 yards per carry on only eight attempts according to the numbers discussed in this episode. Byrum Brown averaged 5.7 yards per carry and continued to sh...

ALERT: Auburn football is heading into a huge road matchup against Tennessee, and the biggest question is still sitting right in front of Alex Golesh.

Very little room for error. How does Auburn...

But nobody should confuse winning with having everything...

BREAKING: Auburn football found a way to get it done against Vanderbilt, and right now, that might be the most important thing for Alex Golesh and the Tigers. Was it pretty? Absolutely not.

The Tigers ar...
