Auburn Defense Tested Against Baylor | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s defense faces a big test this weekend against Baylor, with three key players stepping up to keep the Tigers’ elite unit firing on all cylinders. Linebacker Xavier Atkins must deliver another dominant performance, especially against Baylor’s short-yardage offense. Defensive tackle Cody Sigler, fresh off a transfer, is expected to disrupt QB DJ Lagway and force the Bears into running plays—where Atkins and the linebackers await. Safety Champ Anthony, recovering from injuries, could set the tone early with big hits and crucial coverage. The game kicks off Saturday at 2:30 PM Central on ABC—don’t miss it.
