Auburn's Make-or-Break Season Opener | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s season opener against Baylor on September 5th is a high-stakes test for new coach Alex Golesh, as his revamped offense — loaded with USF transfers — must prove it can compete in the SEC.

A win for Auburn would instantly validate Golesh’s system and set the tone for a brutal SEC schedule, while a loss might signal deeper trouble.
