Auburn and Baylor prepare for college football matchup at Mercedes-Benz Stadium

Auburn faces Baylor at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta to kick off a new season for both programs. Auburn enters the game under coach Alex Golesh, who installed quarterback Byrum Brown and several players from South Florida into the roster. Baylor features new quarterback DJ Lagway, who transferred from Florida and was named a permanent team captain. The Bears face a significant roster transition, having replaced their top five pass catchers and four offensive line starters from the previous season. Auburn is expected by analysts to have a slight advantage given its returners and the neutral site's proximity. Coaches and staff on both sides are navigating the integration of new personnel in this non-conference test.
