Auburn football is finding ways to WIN under Alex Golesh, but major offensive problems remain. After a 26-23 comeback victory over Arkansas, the Tigers are 5-4 with a realistic path to seven wins.On this episode of Auburn Daily's First Call, we break down why Auburn's improvement in close games deserves more recognition, what Byrum Brown's second-half heroics mean for the offense, and how several young defenders could reshape DJ Durkin's defense.AUBURN IS FINALLY WINNING CLOSE GAMESAfter going 0-6 in one-possession games last season, Auburn is now 4-1 in those situations. Victories over Georgia, Baylor, and Arkansas suggest Alex Golesh is building a tougher, more resilient program. But slow starts, offensive line struggles, penalties, and inconsistent execution remain serious concerns.BYRUM BROWN'S SECOND-HALF HEROICSBrown struggled early against Arkansas before rushing for 125 yards in the second half and connecting with Keshaun Singleton for a crucial touchdown. Is Brown still Auburn's best quarterback option despite calls for Tristan Ti'a to play?SHADARIUS TOODLE AND AUBURN'S YOUNG DEFENSETrue freshman Shadarius Toodle exploded for 11 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, and three sacks in his college debut. Gavin Jenkins and Blake Woodby also impressed, raising questions about whether DJ Durkin should give Auburn's younger defenders more opportunities.CAN AUBURN REACH SEVEN OR EIGHT WINS?With Mississippi State, Samford, and Alabama remaining, Auburn has an opportunity to turn Golesh's first season into a meaningful step forward. Mississippi State's struggles without Kamario Taylor make the upcoming trip to Starkville especially important.Are Auburn's close-game victories proof that Alex Golesh is changing the program, or are the offensive problems too significant to ignore?#AuburnFootball #WarEagle #SECFootball Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
