    Is Auburn Basketball Running Out of Time? | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn basketball dropped another crucial SEC matchup, falling 84-76 to Vanderbilt — and now serious questions are starting to form about this team’s NCAA Tournament chances. In this episode of Auburn Express, the full breakdown of what went wrong inside Neville Arena. Vanderbilt shot lights out early, building momentum that Auburn just could not fully overcome. Even though Auburn dominated the glass, won second-chance opportunities, and shot better from three, the defensive lapses in the first half proved costly. When a team leads for 38 out of 40 minutes, that tells the real story. Stephen Pearl addressed defensive struggles in the postgame, echoing concerns voiced after the Alabama game. Defensive consistency continues to be an issue, and now Auburn finds itself in a tight spot with limited games left to strengthen its resume. The conversation shifts toward what remains on the SEC schedule: Arkansas, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, LSU, and Alabama. With the Tigers sitting at 14 wins and just 4-9 in Quad 1 games, the margin for error is razor thin. Does Auburn need five wins? Six? Or is winning the SEC Tournament the only safe path? Advanced metrics like NET still keep Auburn afloat, but opportunities are shrinking fast. A signature win may be required to lock things in. The stretch run is here, and every possession matters.

    Why Auburn MUST Beat Baylor in Atlanta | Season Opener Expectations | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn fans need to buckle up because this conversation cuts straight to the core of where Auburn football and Auburn basketball stand right now. The first game of the season against Baylor in Atlanta is not just another opener. It is a tone setter. If Auburn walks out of Mercedes Benz Stadium with a loss, the ripple effects carry straight into a brutal SEC stretch that includes Tennessee Georgia LSU and Ole Miss. Two and two out of September is not acceptable. Three and one is the baseline and that starts with beating Baylor again. This episode breaks down why Auburn should expect to win that matchup based on talent gaps scheme familiarity and quarterback play. Auburn dominated Baylor last season in Waco and while rosters change the reality is Auburn still holds the edge. This is essentially a home game and it must be treated that way. Anything less is a failure to capitalize on opportunity. The conversation then shifts to Auburn basketball and the reality of the bubble. Sitting at fourteen and nine with eight games left leaves very little margin for error. Nineteen wins might sneak Auburn in but twenty wins removes doubt. That means winning five or six games down the stretch and stealing at least one from a ranked opponent. Losing close games has been the story and that must change immediately starting with Vanderbilt. This is not about hope or moral victories. It is about results. Auburn football needs momentum before SEC play and Auburn basketball needs wins before Selection Sunday. Everything is on the table and nothing is guaranteed. Learn more about your ad choices.

    Auburn’s Offense Is About To Shock The SEC | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn football fans have heard promises before, but this time feels different. There is a real shift happening behind the scenes and it starts with how the offense is being built, taught, and executed. This episode of the Auburn Express dives into why this process is not just another offseason talking point but a fundamental philosophical change that could finally stabilize Auburn’s offense. For years Auburn struggled with fractured offensive leadership, disconnected play calling, and systems that never truly matched personnel. That disconnect showed up on Saturdays when execution fell apart and development stalled. What is being discussed here is a true collaborative offensive structure where one voice owns the game plan while still allowing input from trusted assistants. That matters more than fans realize. There is also confidence coming from the top. Not manufactured confidence. Not coach speak. Real belief in the system itself. The idea of building an offense around what players do well instead of forcing players into rigid schemes is refreshing and overdue. It is common sense football, but Auburn has not consistently operated that way in years. Fans are understandably cautious. Burned seasons create emotional scar tissue. But pretending not to be excited does not change expectations. Auburn has had enough talent to win more games recently, and systemic issues held that talent back. That is the core point. This discussion also reflects on Auburn’s past, including the Gus Malzahn era and what was lost when consistency disappeared. Raising the floor matters. Process matters. Development matters. If Auburn truly commits to this approach, the results could come faster than expected. Talent eventually catches up when the foundation is right. And for the first time in a while, Auburn feels like it is building something sustainable instead of chasing fixes. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Auburn Football 2026 Schedule Analysis | Alex Golesh Year One Outlook | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn football fans need to lock in because this season has the potential to change the entire trajectory of the program. After breaking down the full Auburn Tigers schedule month by month, one thing becomes crystal clear. There is a real opportunity for Auburn to build momentum early, survive the toughest stretch of SEC play, and enter November with something truly meaningful on the line. September is where the foundation gets set. Auburn opens with a neutral site matchup against Baylor in Atlanta, followed by Southern Miss, Florida, and Vanderbilt. This stretch is critical. With Auburn’s quarterback situation stabilized and a clear offensive identity forming under Alex Golesh, this team has a legitimate path to starting 4 and 0 and even 2 and 0 in SEC play. That alone changes the national perception immediately. October is where Auburn’s season will be tested. Road trips to Tennessee and Georgia combined with matchups against Ole Miss and LSU make this one of the toughest four game stretches any team will face. The goal is simple. Find two wins. Ole Miss at home looks like the most realistic upset opportunity, especially with quarterback uncertainty across the league. November is where things get interesting. Arkansas, Mississippi State, Samford, and then Alabama close the season. That slate is manageable. If Auburn survives October at 2 and 2, the Tigers could enter the Iron Bowl with playoff conversation energy. That has not been said in a long time. This is not blind optimism. This is about opportunity, structure, preparation, and finally having a unified plan. Auburn fans have every reason to be excited about what is building on the Plains.

    Auburn Football Quarterback Room Breakdown | Auburn Football Podcast

    Auburn football fans need to lock in because this offense is quietly setting up to be one of the most dangerous units in the SEC. The conversation around Byron Brown has shifted and that matters. With Auburn stacking the running back room with legitimate SEC caliber talent, the pressure on Brown to be the entire offense may finally be gone. This episode dives deep into what that actually means on the field. Byron Brown is the unquestioned QB1. That part is clear. The real conversation is how Auburn can protect him while still using what makes him special. Brown is one of the most dangerous dual threat quarterbacks in college football. But asking him to carry the ball 180 plus times in the SEC is not sustainable. The key difference is the running back room. Jeremiah Cobb is a true starting back anywhere in this league. Bryson Washington brings power and experience that most teams wish they had. Add in the depth behind them and Auburn suddenly has options. Real options. That changes how defenses have to play Auburn. When a defender has to hesitate because Byron Brown can pull the ball and go eighty yards, it opens everything up. That hesitation is where big plays happen. That is where Auburn can punish teams. This is not about limiting Byron Brown. It is about maximizing him. Fewer designed runs. Smarter usage. Letting the running backs cook while Brown stays healthy and lethal in the passing game. If this offense clicks the ceiling is massive. Auburn fans might be closer to a Nick Marshall and Tre Mason Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

    Auburn Is Building Something Physical | Auburn Football Podcast

    BREAKING Auburn football fans this is one of the most important conversations of the offseason. Auburn head coach Alex Golesh finally addressed the biggest questions surrounding this program heading into spring practice and it all starts up front. The offensive line has been the Achilles heel of Auburn football and for the first time in a long time there is real competition real depth and real confidence heading into the spring. Auburn now has 17 scholarship offensive linemen with nearly 20 total bodies competing for five starting spots. That means nothing is handed out and everything must be earned. Golesh made it clear this group is built with experience and physicality. There are immediate contributors mixed with hungry young players who believe they can take a job. That type of environment changes a football team fast. Auburn is no longer hoping to survive in the trenches. Auburn is preparing to impose its will. That mindset directly impacts quarterback Byrum Brown and running back Jeremiah Cobb. If this offensive line gels Auburn becomes a run first physical football team that wears opponents down. Golesh also cleared up the play calling situation. Auburn will have a single play caller on game day and that will be Joel Gordon. However this is still a collaborative offense where ideas are shared and adjustments are constant between drives. That balance is key. This episode breaks down why spring practice finally matters again at Auburn and why this offense looks ready to take a major step forward. Learn more about your ad choices.
