Auburn's First Test Under Golesh | Birmingham News

Auburn’s season opener against Baylor is a high-stakes test for new coach Alex Golesh, with the Tigers’ ability to dominate the trenches and execute at full speed under pressure being the biggest questions. After last year’s rushing success, Auburn faces Baylor’s revamped front seven — and must also manage penalties and communication on offense while defending DJ Lagway’s mobility. The defense’s organizational structure, substitution discipline, and red zone efficiency will be closely watched, especially as both teams debut new schemes and personnel. With little recent film and chaotic game conditions expected, this opener will reveal which sideline adapts faster — and who truly owns the early-season momentum.
