Auburn vs Southern Miss Home Opener | Huntsville News

Auburn football narrowly edged Baylor 17-16 and now faces Southern Miss in a high-stakes home opener Saturday at 6:45 PM CT on the SEC Network. Southern Miss, led by new coach Blake Anderson, exploded for a 49-3 win over Alcorn State, thanks to a dominant defense that forced five turnovers and held opponents to just 223 yards. Defensive standout Kolbi Albert snagged three interceptions alone — a stark contrast to Auburn’s shaky debut. This marks the first meeting between the two schools in eight years, with Auburn holding an 18-5 series edge, though Southern Miss pulled off back-to-back wins against them in the early ‘90s. With a “white out” atmosphere and head coach Alex Golesh making his home debut, Auburn is primed to build momentum after their close call last week.
