Auburn football is officially entering SEC play, and it is time to find out exactly what this offensive line is made of. Alex Golesh says competition remains alive across the Auburn roster, but all eyes are on the offensive guard spots as the Tigers prepare for Florida. Auburn has spent the offseason trying to build a culture where every player has to earn his spot every day. Now that philosophy g...

Auburn football is 2 and 0, and now Alex Golesh gets his first SEC game with Florida coming to Jordan Hare Stadium. The question isn't whether Auburn can beat Florida. The Tigers have already shown they have the tools to win this game. The bigger question is whether Auburn can clean up its mistakes quickly enough to win what could become a one score battle in the fourth quarter. There might actual...

Auburn football may have made exactly the coaching change it needed. As Alex Golesh prepares Auburn for its SEC opener against Florida, the early returns have created an interesting conversation about where the Tigers are headed compared to where the program was under Hugh Freeze. One of the biggest issues during the previous era wasn't simply wins and losses. It was player evaluation and developm...

Auburn football is 2 and 0, but apparently that still isn't enough to earn the Tigers any respect in the AP Top 25. Auburn received zero votes in the latest AP poll despite opening the 2026 season with victories over Baylor and Southern Miss. Is that disrespect, or does Auburn simply have more work to do before voters are willing to believe Alex Golesh has the Tigers headed in the right direction?...

Auburn football might be better than people thought after Week 1, and Byrum Brown might be the biggest reason to reconsider some of those early opinions. Auburn followed its close win over Baylor by taking care of business against Southern Miss. The Tigers rushed for more than 300 yards, showed improvement along the offensive line and got the type of quarterback performance that should have Auburn...

Was Auburn football underrated after the Baylor game? Auburn's 43 to 8 win over Southern Miss should at least force another look at some of the assumptions made about this team after Week 1. Auburn didn't play its best football against Baylor, but still found a way to win. Then the Tigers came home and handled an opponent they were supposed to beat. That's exactly what needed to happen. Auburn rus...

Auburn football wanted to establish a physical identity under Alex Golesh, and against Southern Miss, the Tigers finally started looking like the rushing offense everyone expected to see. Auburn rolled up 343 rushing yards in the 43 to 8 victory, with production coming from all over the backfield. Omar Mabson II broke the 100 yard mark, Jeremiah Cobb averaged better than seven yards per carry and...

Auburn football walked away with a dominant 43 to 8 victory over Southern Miss, but Alex Golesh made it clear after the game that the final score isn't the standard he's looking for. Auburn piled up more than 600 yards of total offense and 343 yards on the ground, but Golesh repeatedly described the offensive performance as sloppy. Auburn left points on the field, committed costly penalties and co...

Auburn football took care of business against Southern Miss with a 43 to 8 win, but the final score only tells part of the story. The Tigers piled up more than 600 yards of total offense, rushed for 343 yards and showed significant improvement from what Auburn put on the field against Baylor in Week 1. The biggest difference was on the ground. Omar Mabson II led Auburn with 108 rushing yards, whil...

The SEC has to draw the line somewhere, and this college eligibility fight might be exactly where it needs to happen. College sports have changed dramatically, but having new rules surrounding player compensation doesn't mean programs should be allowed to ignore every existing eligibility standard and simply wait to see whether somebody can stop them. That's where this conversation gets interestin...

College football fandom isn't always logical. Sometimes there are teams that haven't necessarily done anything wrong, but for whatever reason, they're just difficult to like. That's where the conversation goes with Oregon and Boise State. There isn't necessarily hatred for the Boise State fan base, but that doesn't mean there's any desire to start rooting for the Broncos either. Sometimes a progra...

Auburn football expectations shouldn't change just because fans have watched the program underperform. The standard is still the standard, and Southern Miss gives Auburn another opportunity to show that this program is moving back toward it. This isn't about predicting Auburn will win every game. It's about understanding what should be expected from Auburn football. Southern Miss is a team Auburn...

Auburn football has a simple assignment against Southern Miss: impose its will. After escaping Baylor with a win, Auburn now gets an opportunity to show what this offense is supposed to look like when the Tigers have the advantage in talent. The number to watch could be 250 rushing yards. If Auburn gets there while producing another 250 yards through the air, that's roughly 500 yards of total offe...

Auburn football escaped Week 1 with a 17 to 16 win over Baylor, but now the real question begins: how much better can the Tigers get? Auburn got the result it needed in the season opener, but the performance also exposed several areas that Alex Golesh and his staff have to clean up before SEC play arrives. Byrum Brown completed 74 percent of his passes against Baylor, but three interceptions put A...

The two break down the Golden Eagles' performance in their season opener, evaluate key position battles, and analyze potential defensive strategy against Auburn's offense. In a bold closing prediction, Borelli explains why he believes Southern Miss is primed to snap a 35-ye...

Auburn football beat Baylor, but the Tigers left Week 1 with one massive question that needs an answer against Southern Miss: what happened to the running game? Baylor deserves credit. Their defensive line was better than many Auburn fans expected, and Dave Aranda spent the offseason talking about how much that group had improved. Maybe Baylor really is that good up front. If that's the case, Aubu...

Auburn football isn't just supposed to beat Southern Miss. This is the kind of game where Auburn needs to show that it can handle an opponent the way an SEC program with superior talent is supposed to. After the Baylor game raised questions about Auburn's offense, the matchup with Southern Miss provides another opportunity to evaluate where this team really stands. The final score matters, but how...

Auburn football is back at Jordan Hare Stadium, and this matchup against Southern Miss feels like the perfect opportunity for Byrum Brown and the Tigers offense to get rolling before SEC play begins. Auburn escaped the season opener against Baylor with a 17 to 16 victory, but the offense left plenty to clean up. Brown completed 26 of 35 passes for 259 yards, showing Auburn can move the football th...
