Two weeks stand between Auburn and the first full‑scale fall practice under head coach Alex Golesh, a milestone that marks the beginning of a new chapter for the Tigers.
A fresh start in Auburn
Golesh, who spent three years steering the USF Bulls before arriving in Auburn, has repeatedly emphasized that the roster he now inherits is deeper and more cohesive than any he has coached before.
The excitement is tempered by a clear objective: to secure Auburn’s first winning season since 2020, a drought that has lingered despite flashes of potential.
Season opener in Atlanta
The season will officially open on Saturday, September 5, when the Tigers travel to Atlanta to face Baylor, a game that will serve as the first test of Golesh’s vision.
Fans and analysts alike are watching closely, hopeful that the blend of experienced leadership and a revitalized roster can translate into the momentum needed for a successful campaign.
