Auburn offense faces scrutiny after narrow win against Baylor

Auburn defeated Baylor 17-16 in a football game last Saturday. Despite the win, head coach Alex Golesh cited poor execution and three turnovers as significant issues during the first half. The offense struggled to create explosive plays, leaving the team at No. 9 in The Athletic’s latest SEC vibes rankings. Golesh noted that the unit began to settle in during the fourth quarter, eventually utilizing designed runs for quarterback Byrum Brown to secure the winning score. The coaching staff plans to address these execution failures on film this week. Auburn prepares to face Southern Miss on Saturday, with Golesh looking for a more consistent performance across the full game.
