Auburn's Halftime Hype vs. Coach's Gripes | Birmingham News

Auburn led 27-8 at halftime against Southern Miss, but coach Alex Golesh was furious over sloppy play and unforced errors that let the opponent score. He singled out missed tackles and a key 41-yard pass that sparked Southern Miss’s comeback. Despite a late 55-yard field goal, Golesh demanded cleaner execution and discipline, stressing that Auburn’s identity demands precision—not penalties or mistakes. The scoreboard may have smiled, but the coach is already focused on tightening up for the second half. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
