Auburn Wins But Execution Lags | Birmingham News

Auburn cruised to a 43-8 win over Southern Miss, but head coach Alex Golesh wasn’t happy—calling the team’s execution “sloppy” amid ten penalties, costly drops, and blown opportunities. Despite QB Byrum Brown’s three TDs and a stellar 600+ yard offense, Golesh stressed that mistakes like fumbles and blocked punts could derail their season. The run game showed real improvement, and Brown found his groove late, but the coaching staff knows they must tighten up fast—especially as they gear up for SEC play against Florida.
