Auburn is led by first year head coach Alex Golesh and enters Saturday's matchup with a record of 4-3 on the season. Golesh took the Auburn job following a three-year stint at South Florida with a record of 23-15 highlighted by a bowl win in each of his three seasons with the program. The Tigers began the 2026 season with a neutral site win over Baylor in Atlanta, a game in which the team stopped the Bears on a two-point conversion to secure the victory. They would follow up with a victory over Southern Miss before dropping their first game of the year to Florida. The Tigers would improve to 3-1 with a win over Vanderbilt for the first time since 2023.
Auburn is currently in the midst of a stretch in which the team has faced four straight ranked opponents, suffering losses at the hands of Tennessee and LSU. Their season has been highlighted by a victory over Georgia on October 17, their first victory in Athens since 2005 and first victory over a top three team since 2017.
