Summary

Auburn Tigers face a surprising challenge right out of the gate—could their season opener against the Baylor Bears be the biggest trap game on the schedule? Zac Blackerby and Darrell Dapprich weigh the dangers of underestimating Baylor's defensive schemes under Dave Aranda and dissect why Auburn’s young, inexperienced offensive line could be a decisive factor in Atlanta. The episode questions if Auburn can set the right tone for the year, with key matchups, betting lines, and program reputation hanging in the balance. The conversation shifts to Vanderbilt, Arkansas, and Mississippi State, scrutinizing whether matchups that seem like gimmes could actually threaten the Tigers’ bowl eligibility. Can new head coach Alex Golesh keep the roster focused on week-by-week execution and avoid traditional SEC pitfalls? Find out what it will take for Auburn to start strong, manage expectations, and potentially revive belief on the Plains. JOIN: https://lockedonauburn.supercast.com/
