Joining us as he does quite regularly that is

brian smith host of the portal that's locked on's recruiting nil transfer portal show be sure to

give him some love multiple episodes a week or a day excuse me there what's the biggest mismatch

for auburn and baylor what does a Auburn need to do to win on Friday?

But Brian, well, let's start with their historic implications here.

Like this is a bigger win or potential win, potential game for Auburn just because

of what's led to this point over the last few years under the Hugh Freeze era of

Auburn football.

And a win will be big, but mainly just because a loss could be devastating on Friday.

It's finally here, Brian, and you're starting to feel the pressure, the excitement, and the

energy throughout the planes before the Tigers had to wake up on Friday.

Yeah, this is year three, and you've completely revamped the roster. As they say, year three is kind of put up or shut up at any major college football. Yes. Here we are. And I don't know, by the way, I don't know how they randomly ended up playing Baylor in a game out of conference, but it's, I love it because I like it when teams actually could play somebody that's not a cupcake to open the season.

But you got to make it happen too because they got a better roster.

They put a lot of money in their coaching staff.
