New Faces, New Hope in Waco | Auburn Tigers Football News

Baylor’s got a chance to turn things around after a rough season, bringing in new offensive firepower and defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman to shake up the roster. They’ll face Auburn, also rebuilding under new head coach Alex Golesh, in a game packed with unknowns. The QB battle is key: DJ Lagway, fresh off a shaky stint at Florida, gets his shot in a new system, while Byrum Brown brings experience and chemistry with Golesh. Baylor’s defense, revamped with new transfers like Wheeler and Whyce, must stop Auburn’s ground game led by Cobb and former Bear Bryson Washington — plus contain Brown’s legs. On offense, Baylor’s line, made up of transfers and brothers, needs to protect Lagway and establish the run. This one hinges on whether Lagway can stay calm and avoid turnovers — if he does, Baylor might just pull off the upset.
