Auburn's Hidden Play That Shocked Fans | Birmingham News

Auburn’s offense exploded for a 43-8 win over Southern Miss, with QB Byrum Brown throwing two TDs — including a jaw-dropping double reverse touchdown where he caught the ball himself. Head coach Alex Golesh downplayed the theatrics, calling it a standard fourth-down play designed to exploit man coverage. While he noted the execution could’ve been cleaner, Brown loved the moment, calling it rare and fun. Now, Auburn turns focus to their SEC opener against Florida on Saturday at 6 PM on ESPN — where more surprises might be in store as they face stiffer competition.
