Tigers Edge Out Baylor in Nail-Biter | Auburn Tigers Football News

Auburn’s Tigers pulled off a gritty, last-second win over Baylor in head coach Alex Golesh’s debut, thanks to a solid but error-prone offense led by Byrum Brown. The defense, however, struggled mightily against Florida transfer D.J. Lagway, who shredded them for over 330 yards and two touchdowns, while receiver Gavin Freeman dominated with 12 catches and a game-tying score. Special teams was inconsistent, with kicker Alex McPherson missing a kick and punter Hudson Kaak averaging just under 43 yards per punt. Coaching gets a C — the win matters, but there’s room to grow. Despite shaky performances across the board, the Tigers earned a B for heart, hustle, and surviving by the slimmest of margins.
