Why Byrum Brown Could Dominate on the Ground | Auburn Football Podcast

Auburn football enters the Baylor matchup as a favorite, but the expectation should be bigger than simply finding a way to win. This is an opportunity for Alex Golesh and the Tigers to make an immediate statement about what Auburn football is going to look like in 2026. Auburn fans have remained loyal through five straight losing seasons. Jordan Hare Stadium continued filling up despite the results on the field. At some point, that loyalty needs to be rewarded with winning football. Eight wins should be a reasonable expectation for this team, and Baylor represents the first opportunity to establish that standard. The matchup starts with Auburn’s ability to run the football. Baylor struggled defending the run last season, while Auburn showed exactly what it could do on the ground in this matchup by rushing for more than 300 yards. Baylor has made changes defensively, but the Tigers still have the personnel to make stopping the run a major problem. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
