once again, it's an SEC opener for Auburn — and the biggest question mark heading in is the offensive line now on The Observer: a deep dive into what the Tigers might do up front against the Gators, including the latest buzz on freshman Wilson Zierer and the big numbers to know
auburnobserver.com
Once again, all eyes are on Auburn’s o-line heading into SEC play
The Tigers have struggled along their front five for too long. The Florida game represents a real opportunity for a new group to find some separation.

Auburn has had an elite run defense each of the last two seasons, and it looks like it might have another one Florida has one of nation's best running backs in Jadan Baugh, and its new offense creates so much off the attention he demands something's gotta give Saturday in JHS

When Auburn defends Florida this Saturday, something’s gotta give
The Tigers might have an elite run defense again. The Gators have an elite back. So much feels like it will hinge on this one matchup.

got mad when the Braves went down 3-0 and decided to watch the new Lanterns episode instead they were leading when we turned it back, so the moral of this story is pouting works

Observations: Auburn 43, USM 8 - what made Alex Golesh “want to throw up” - some actual movement up front — in more ways than one - that was much more like it from Byrum Brown - front six on defense are off to an incredible start - pass defense took a step in the right direction
auburnobserver.com
Observations: Auburn 43, Southern Miss 8
The Tigers dominated their home opener, yet Alex Golesh said the performance made him “want to throw up.” How’s that for a new standard?

did you know that, against Baylor, Auburn… - had 3 WRs have 4+ catches and 40+ yards vs. a P4 opponent for the first time since beating LSU in 2020? - converted 7 third downs through the air vs. a P4 opponent for the first time since the 2017 Iron Bowl? not a bad debut at all
auburnobserver.com
Auburn’s new receivers had a better debut than you might think
The Tigers did something at wideout vs. Baylor that they haven’t done against a quality opponent since 2020 — and something else since 2017.

Auburn has “a ton to clean up” from its Week 1 escape against Baylor, but these are the three biggest areas for improvement: - the interior OL play - everything that went into Byrum Brown’s 3 INTs - coverage issues, especially when you can get off the field it’s Film Room time:

SMU is playing bad football on accident and it’s costing them the game FSU is playing bad football on purpose and it’s keeping them in the game

Observations: Auburn 17, Baylor 16 - when he wasn’t doing too much, Byrum Brown got it done - the defense did its job more often than not, but… - Auburn *has* to be better up front moving forward - there’s some real star power that’s ready to shine

Observations: Auburn 17, Baylor 16
“It wasn’t pretty in any way,” but it was a win. Alex Golesh’s first one means much-needed improvement can happen with momentum.
