Auburn SHOULD ALREADY BE Ready To Run Through Baylor | Auburn Football Podcast

The Auburn Tigers open the 2026 season with a high profile matchup against Baylor in Atlanta, and this is much more than just the first game on the schedule. This matchup gives Auburn an opportunity to establish its identity under Alex Golesh while showing just how much progress this roster has made over the offseason. After breaking down last season's meeting between these two programs, there are plenty of reasons to believe Auburn enters this game with a significant advantage. Baylor struggled to stop the run throughout last season, allowing explosive rushing performances against multiple opponents, and Auburn appears built to take advantage of that weakness once again. With Byrum Brown at quarterback, Jeremiah Cobb in the backfield, and Bryson Washington now wearing orange and blue after transferring from Baylor, the Tigers have the personnel to control the line of scrimmage. 00:00 Auburn vs Baylor Preview 00:36 Why This Game Matters 01:22 Breaking Down Auburn's 2026 Schedule 02:42 Why Auburn Has The Edge 04:09 Baylor's Defensive Problems 06:05 Dave Aranda Under Pressure 08:46 Auburn's Running Game Advantage 11:06 Why Baylor Is Worse Than Last Year 13:03 Betting Odds And Expectations 13:29 Sponsor Message 15:32 What A Win Really Means 18:32 What Auburn Must Show 21:13 Final Thoughts Learn more about your ad choices.
