Southern Miss Aims to Shock Auburn | Auburn Tigers Football News

Southern Miss is a heavy underdog against Auburn, but Coach Blake Anderson’s got one goal: win. After a strong season opener, the Golden Eagles must exploit any weaknesses they find to pull off an upset — their last victory over Auburn was in 1991. The offensive line needs to control the line of scrimmage and avoid negative plays, while quarterback Ethan Hampton, recovering from a hand injury, must elevate his game with fewer turnovers and smarter throws, especially to playmakers like Mario Sanders. On defense, generating pressure on Auburn’s QB is critical to keep drives short and rattle the Tigers’ offense. With little room for error, Southern Miss must play clean and disciplined — because in college football, even longshot dreams can come true.
