Auburn's Alex Golesh Feels 'Light Years Ahead' Compared to Other Year 1 Coaching Stops
Alex Golesh said Auburn finished camp feeling ahead after a scrimmage and will use a normal game week to prepare for Baylor.
The Auburn Tigers wrapped up fall training camp with a final scrimmage on Saturday, ending camp feeling good about their progress and potential under head coach Alex Golesh.
Golesh begins his first season following five consecutive losing seasons, with the Tigers opening against Baylor in Atlanta on September 5, 2026.
The roster integration is bolstered by quarterback Byrum Brown and more than a dozen South Florida transfers, helping the team feel "light years ahead" compared to other Year 1 stops, Golesh said.
With the season opener approaching, staff are prioritizing preparation for young receivers to handle the high-pressure Week 1 atmosphere at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
Senior running back Jeremiah Cobb returned to help change the program's direction, stating "I came here to change that" after years of struggles.
