Auburn football has its first opportunity to respond to a loss in the Alex Golesh era. After falling to Florida, the Tigers return to Jordan-Hare Stadium against Vanderbilt with three major problems Christian Rauh believes must be addressed immediately: establish the running game, start faster and fix the tackling.

On First Call, Christian breaks down why Jeremiah Cobb’s nine carries for 32 yards against Florida weren’t enough and why Bryson Washington deserves more opportunities. Byrum Brown’s legs also need to become a bigger part of Auburn’s offensive identity.

Then there are the slow starts. Auburn finished the first quarter against Florida with negative three yards of offense. Christian explains why extending drives early could help Brown find a rhythm while preventing DJ Durkin’s defense from spending another massive portion of the first half on the field.

But the biggest concern might be tackling.

According to the PFF numbers discussed on the show, Auburn finished the Florida game with 24 missed tackles, including five apiece from Xavier Atkins and DeShawn Womack. Alex Golesh also pointed to 120 rushing yards after contact and 11 explosive runs allowed. Auburn cannot continue giving opponents those opportunities.

Christian also dives into an offensive line rotation that didn’t exist against Florida. All five starters played all 69 offensive snaps despite Auburn allowing seven sacks. Could Caleb Ellis, Jack Lear or another lineman earn snaps against Vanderbilt? And could Cole Skinner’s role change after a difficult performance?

Saturday is Auburn’s chance to show that the Florida problems can be corrected rather than becoming the identity of this team.

Auburn has to flush the Florida loss quickly, because Vanderbilt is next and there are three major issues that need to be corrected NOW. If the Tigers want to bounce back and get their season moving in the right direction, it starts with stopping the run, affecting the passer and finally starting FAST on offense.

Auburn cannot afford another performance like the one Jadan Baugh had against this defense. The Tigers also have to start disrupting the quarterback and creating pressure up front, especially with a secondary that has shown it can be vulnerable when the quarterback has time. And offensively, Auburn has to stop constantly playing from behind — come out aggressive, put points on the board early and make Vanderbilt chase YOU for a change.

We break down the three biggest corrections Auburn needs to make before Vanderbilt and what has to change after a brutal loss to Florida.

What REALLY went wrong for Auburn against Florida? We bring in a football film expert to dive deep into the X’s and O’s and break down exactly where things fell apart on both sides of the football.

Defensively, we look at the missed tackles, breakdowns, third-down problems and what Auburn has to clean up moving forward. Offensively, we break down the issues that kept the Tigers from finding any consistency and where the execution has to improve. Was it scheme, personnel, execution — or a combination of everything?

Most importantly, we look ahead to Vanderbilt coming to Jordan-Hare and identify what Auburn MUST fix before another SEC matchup. The Florida loss exposed some real problems, and now we find out whether Alex Golesh and his staff can get them corrected.

Where exactly did things go wrong for Auburn football against Florida? After the Tigers’ frustrating loss at Jordan-Hare Stadium, head coach Alex Golesh offered an explanation for one of the game’s most troubling numbers: 24 missed tackles.

On this episode of First Call from Auburn Daily, Christian Rauh breaks down Golesh’s Monday press conference, the defensive mistakes that helped Florida pull away and what Auburn needs to fix before facing Vanderbilt.

Golesh attributed roughly 90% of Auburn’s missed tackles to alignment issues, particularly before the snap. Christian examines what that explanation means, whether better positioning could have prevented some of Florida’s explosive plays and what questions it raises for defensive coordinator DJ Durkin.

The numbers from the Florida game are difficult to ignore. Golesh said Auburn’s 24 missed tackles contributed to 120 additional yards for the Gators, who also produced 11 explosive plays. Florida’s third-and-20 touchdown run near the end of the first half was especially damaging, and Auburn’s struggles continued after halftime as the Gators quickly extended their lead.

Christian discusses the critical stretch spanning the end of the first half and the beginning of the second, when Auburn went from being in the game to facing a 17-point deficit. He also examines Golesh’s message about coaching the mistakes, moving forward and continuing to build the foundation of his program.

But how much patience should Auburn fans have with that process after a loss like this?

The Tigers now turn their attention to Vanderbilt and true freshman quarterback Jared Curtis. Christian explores whether Auburn can correct its pre-snap alignment, reduce its missed tackles and earn Golesh’s first SEC victory. With Vanderbilt having beaten Auburn in recent seasons, this matchup carries additional significance for the Tigers.

The episode also takes a broader look at a loaded SEC weekend and what the results could reveal about Auburn’s remaining schedule. Texas faces Tennessee, Oklahoma meets Georgia, Ole Miss takes on Florida, Texas A&M plays LSU, and Missouri travels to Mississippi State. Christian explains why those games could provide useful context for evaluating Auburn’s opponents and its path through conference play.

Was Auburn’s tackling problem really an alignment problem? What adjustments should DJ Durkin make against Vanderbilt? And how much can the Tigers improve as Golesh continues building his program?
