Game Time, TV Station Announced for Auburn Football's Home Opener

Auburn has officially set its home-opener kickoff for Sept. 12 against Southern Miss at 6:45 p.m. CT, with the game airing on SEC Network. The Tigers are expected to enter the matchup after an opening-week win over Baylor, moved from a planned Auburn home game to Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. Auburn leads the all-time series 18-5 and has won each of the last four meetings with the Golden Eagles, while paying Southern Miss $1.5 million. Offensively, Auburn is under former USF head coach Alex Golesh and looks markedly different after departures including Jackson Arnold and Cam Coleman, replaced by a new cast led by Byrum Brown.
