Auburn’s First Win and What’s Next | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s back in action this Saturday, and Coach Alex Golesh gave a candid post-game breakdown—yes, they won, but it wasn’t pretty. He praised the team’s grit, attitude, and relentless “next play” mindset, which showed up every day in practice. But on offense, defense, and special teams? Just okay. Improvement is non-negotiable between week one and two. The offensive line had bright spots (tackles) but struggled inside against certain schemes, especially with guards failing to deliver early hits. QB Byrum Brown had shaky moments—including interceptions—but settled in as the game progressed, especially in clutch situations. Most injured players should be ready to go, though a few linemen are day-to-day. Health-wise, the team’s feeling strong as they gear up for Southern Miss, who’ve also just hired a new coach—so expect chaos and unknowns. Still, Golesh is thrilled to be back home at Jordan-Hare, ready to face a tough opponent and see his team compete at their best.
