Alex Golesh assesses Auburn football readiness ahead of Southern Miss home opener

Auburn head coach Alex Golesh addressed the media Monday to preview Saturday’s home game against Southern Miss at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Following a Week 1 victory over Baylor, Golesh noted that while the team maintained a positive mentality, the overall execution lacked consistency across all three phases. He specifically cited offensive line performance as an area requiring improvement, noting struggles with internal protection and reaching the second level. Quarterback Byrum Brown, who threw for over 200 yards but recorded three interceptions, is expected to settle into a more effective rhythm. Injury updates include C.K. Murray being cleared to play this weekend, while Da’Shawn Womack remains day-to-day. The upcoming matchup marks Golesh’s first opportunity to lead the Tigers at home before an expected sellout crowd.
