Golesh’s First Win and Game-Winning Tackle | Huntsville News

Auburn pulled off a heart-pounding 17-16 win over Baylor, sealing it with a last-second stop of a two-point conversion. Coach Alex Golesh earned his first victory as Tigers head coach, extending their 10-game winning streak to open the season. While he admitted the performance wasn’t flawless, he praised his team’s grit and resilience, especially defense — led by standout Eric Winters, who snagged game ball for his clutch tackle. Golesh acknowledged offensive struggles, including turnovers and lack of explosive plays, but commended his receivers and tight ends for solid work. He also noted injuries to DaShawn Womack and Chris Murray needing evaluation. Looking ahead, he stressed the need for improvement against Southern Miss, and ended with a fun postgame story: players made him wear a leather helmet for the trophy photo.
