Auburn football prepares offensive keys for season opener against Baylor

Auburn enters its 2026 season opener against Baylor with a new coaching staff led by offensive coordinator Alex Golesh. The Tigers aim to emphasize the ground game, utilizing a deep running back rotation that includes Jeremiah Cobb, Omar Mabson II, and Baylor transfer Bryson Washington. Quarterback Byrum Brown, who accounted for over 5,000 total yards last season at South Florida, will lead the attack behind a rebuilt offensive line. The coaching staff plans to integrate deep passing threats to increase explosive plays, aiming to improve upon last year's output. Success hinges on establishing an early run game to create opportunities for wide receivers Keshaun Singleton and Chas Nimrod. This matchup serves as the debut for the staff's new offensive scheme on the Plains.
