Baylor’s Close Call and Coach’s Hot Seat | Auburn Tigers Football News

Baylor’s season opener against Auburn was a heart-stopping thriller, ending in a one-point loss that left fans gasping. Despite DJ Lagway’s ankle injury and shaky play—including a fumble and interception—the QB still connected with Gavin Freeman for 150+ yards. The defense stepped up with five sacks and three interceptions, but the offense couldn’t deliver when it mattered most. With nine seconds left, Baylor went for two and failed at the goal line, echoing their 2021 championship moment—but this time, they were on the wrong side. Coach Aranda’s bold call under pressure adds to mounting scrutiny as he enters his seventh year. Can Lagway stay healthy and consistent? Can the running game provide balance? The season hinges on these answers—and whether Aranda can silence the doubters. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
