Auburn enters Year 3 under Hugh Freeze, and expectations are sky high. The biggest question? Can Auburn finally finish drives and put up points in the red zone? In this breakdown, we dive deep into what Auburn needs to do against Baylor, why Alex McPherson might quietly be the X-factor, and why Baylor fans are massively underestimating Auburn’s defense.

Between explosive playmakers like Eric Singleton Jr. and a defense that could shock Baylor at the line of scrimmage, Auburn may have all the tools to flip the script this season. Vegas seems to agree, with the line leaning toward Auburn – but will Hugh Freeze’s play-calling unlock the consistency Auburn desperately needs?

We’ll also examine quarterback play, comparing Jackson Arnold’s development with Baylor’s John Mateer and Sawyer Robertson. Accuracy, ball placement, and yards after the catch could decide this game. This isn’t just about big plays – it’s about whether Auburn can dominate when it matters most.

Don’t miss this in-depth look at Auburn vs Baylor and why this matchup could set the tone for the entire season.
