Auburn Defense Learns Tough Lessons | Huntsville News

Auburn’s defense held Baylor to just 16 points but struggled with quick passes and deep middle-of-the-field plays, especially early on—leaving coach Alex Golesh frustrated over missed leverage and easy yards. Baylor’s Gavin Freeman exploited the gaps with 12 catches for 154 yards and a TD. Defensive coordinator DJ Durkin blamed first-game jitters and alignment hiccups, but says the team has since corrected those issues. Now, Auburn turns focus to their home opener against Southern Miss this Saturday at 6:45 PM CT on the SEC Network.
