Summary
- Auburn begins new era under coach Alex Golesh on Friday, Sept. 5.

Auburn is set to begin a new chapter with the debut of head coach Alex Golesh on Friday, September 5. Golesh, who previously achieved a 23-15 record with South Florida and secured two bowl game victories, will have Byrum Brown, last season's starting quarterback for the Bulls, under center.
Across the field, Baylor's Dave Aranda remains head coach but will showcase a new starting quarterback. DJ Lagway, a transfer from Florida, is expected to lead the Bears' offense in what could be a defining season for Aranda, whose tenure has a 36-37 record, a significant distance from their 2021 Sugar Bowl triumph.
The highly anticipated matchup is scheduled for Saturday, September 5, at 3:30 p.m. ET. This season opener will be played at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Football enthusiasts can catch the game on ABC and Disney+, with streaming options available via the ESPN app and Fubo.
Last year, Auburn emerged victorious over Baylor with a 38-24 scoreline in their season opener. Both teams will be looking for a solid start to their campaigns, with Auburn aiming for a more consistent season beyond their Week 1 performance.
