  10/19 WEEK 7 SEC CO-SPECIAL TEAMS PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Auburn's Alex McPherson, a fifth-year place kicker from Fort Payne, Ala., made a 34-yard field goal as time expired to beat No. 1 Georgia, giving Auburn its first win in Athens since 2005 and its FBS-best fourth win against an AP No. 1 team since 1998. It was the Tigers' first walk-off winner since 2012 and their first walk-off winner in regulation since the 2010 National Championship Game. McPherson finished 2-for-2 on field goals, also making a 49-yarder with 1:20 left before halftime to give Auburn a 17-14 lead, and went 3-for-3 on PATs. He now ranks fifth in program history with 47 career field goals made and seventh with 241 career points kicking. - SEC Football

  10/28/26 - Byrum Brown, rSr/2027, Auburn, 6-3, 235 (DS#20 QB) + More +

  10/19 WEEK 7 SEC OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Auburn's Byrum Brown, a fifth-year quarterback from Raleigh, N.C., accounted for 265 yards of total offense and two touchdowns to lead the Tigers past No. 1 Georgia for their first win in Athens since 2005 and their FBS-best fourth win against an AP No. 1 team since 1998. He rushed for a season-high 115 yards and a touchdown on a career-high 26 carries and added 150 yards and a score through the air. It was Brown's fourth straight game with at least one passing and one rushing touchdown, and the 22nd such game of his collegiate career, the most in the FBS. He is the third Auburn quarterback to rush and pass for a touchdown in four straight games, joining Cam Newton (2010) and Nick Marshall (2013). Brown joined Newton as the only Auburn quarterbacks in the last 40 years to rush for 100 or more yards against Georgia. He is also only the fifth player since at least 1995 with 150 passing yards and 100 rushing yards against the No. 1 team, and the first since Kyler Murray in 2018. - SEC Football

  11/03/25 - Jeremiah Wright, rSr/2026, Auburn, 6-5, 331 (DS#15 OG) + More +

  Football coach Hugh Freeze, whose 15-19 record in his two-plus seasons at Auburn was capped by a listless home loss to Kentucky on Saturday, was fired, athletic director John Cohen announced Sunday. Freeze, 56, will be owed $15.8 million in buyout money, with no mitigation, after he signed a six-year, $49 million deal to replace Bryan Harsin in 2022. Freeze is the eighth Power Four coach to be fired this season. "I have informed Coach Freeze of my decision to make a change in leadership with the Auburn football program," Cohen said in a statement. "Coach Freeze is a man of integrity, and we are appreciative of his investment in Auburn and his relentless work over the last three years in bolstering our roster. Our expectations for Auburn football are to annually compete for championships, and the search for the next leader of Auburn football begins immediately." Defensive coordinator D.J. Durkin was named interim coach of the Tigers. "It's my fervent belief that great days are ahead for the Auburn football program," Freeze wrote in a statement posted on X. "Thank you for allowing me to be a part of this chapter. I love this place, and I'll carry the friendships with me always."

Much of the SEC offseason spotlight focused on Freeze, heightening the need for a strong start for the Tigers. In his time at Auburn, he had a 6-16 mark in the SEC, and his tenure was marked by excruciating home losses to New Mexico State, Cal, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State and Oklahoma. The program's offensive issues continued under Freeze, with the Tigers scoring 24 or fewer points in 17 of his 22 SEC games. He also was on the wrong end of too many close matchups, including twice this season, thanks partly to questionable calls. Freeze, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer earlier this year, improved the roster heading into this season, landing consecutive top-10 recruiting classes. He also added key transfers, such as quarterback Jackson Arnold (Oklahoma) and wide receiver Eric Singleton Jr. (Georgia Tech). Combined with a manageable 2025 schedule and a contract that ran through the 2028 season, it seemed the pieces were in place for Freeze to author a breakthrough. - AP College Football

  10/25/25 - Rayshawn Pleasant, rSr/2027, Auburn, 5-11, 200 (DS#37 CB) + More +

  Rayshawn Pleasant's 49-yard interception return for a touchdown with 9:15 left proved to be the game-winning score as Auburn picked up its first win in Southeastern Conference play, 33-24, over Arkansas on Saturday. The Tigers (4-4, 1-4) picked up new life after inserting Ashton Daniels at quarterback late in the second quarter. Auburn's starter, Jackson Arnold, was benched after throwing an interception late in the half that Arkansas' Kani Walker returned 89 yards for a touchdown, giving the Razorbacks a 21-10 lead at the break. Daniels led Auburn on three straight scoring drives to start the third quarter, all finishing with field goals, to trim Arkansas' lead to 24-19 at the time of Pleasant's interception. The Tigers' quarterback finished 6 of 8 for 77 yards through his two-plus quarters of work after coming on for Arnold. Arkansas (2-6, 0-4) didn't have the ball enough for a comeback. Auburn won the time-of-possession battle by more than 13 minutes and the Razorbacks committed turnovers on three straight possessions following Pleasant's touchdown.

O'Mega Blake lost a fumble at the Auburn 44 that the Tigers ultimately turned into another field goal, Alex McPherson's fourth of the game. Pleasant intercepted Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green a second time at the Auburn 45 on the next Razorbacks' series. Auburn converted a fourth-and-1 at the Arkansas 27 with 2:42 left and McPherson finished the drive with a 37-yard field goal to provide the final score with 1:06 to play. Jeremiah Cobb led Auburn with 153 yards rushing on 28 carries. Rohan Jones had Arkansas' best offensive day, catching three passes for 127 yards. Raylen Sharpe caught a touchdown pass from Green in Arkansas' 21-point second quarter. Green finished 14 of 22 for 268 yards with the touchdown and three interceptions, the last of which came on the first play of Arkansas' final drive. McPherson made field goals of 36, 23, 43, 26, 47 and 37 yards. - Auburn/AP College Football

  Byrum Brown threw three touchdown passes and ran for a score as No. 19 South Florida racked up 522 yards in a 48-13 victory over Florida Atlantic on Saturday night. South Florida (6-1, 3-0 AAC) got touchdown receptions from Jeremiah Koger, Jonathan Echols and Wyatt Sullivan. The Bulls scored the final 27 points to turn a 21-13 lead into a blowout victory. "I think for us, as complete of a game as we've played in terms of the ups and the downs, but continuing to play," Bulls coach Alex Golesh said. "There was so much in terms of mistakes and non-execution on all three sides of the ball, but we kept answering the bell." Brown was 14 of 24 for 256 yards and ran for 111 yards and a touchdown. Nykahi Davenport rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown. Koger had four catches for 90 yards. "Byrum continues to be a force that's really hard to stop," Golesh said. "He's as special of a player as there is in the country." Florida Atlantic's Caden Vetkamp was 35 of 50 for 244 yards with a touchdown pass and an interception. Assad Wassem had eight catches for 56 yards. - South Florida/AP College Football
