Auburn football faces Tennessee in Knoxville on Saturday, and this game could determine whether the Tigers can still reach some of their biggest goals in year one under Alex Golesh. Calling Tennessee a "must-win" requires some context. This isn't about the College Football Playoff. It isn't about Golesh's job security. He's in year one and Auburn is still building this program. But if the goal is reaching a bowl game, finishing 7-5 or potentially doing something even bigger? Auburn needs this one. The schedule isn't getting easier. LSU, Ole Miss and Georgia are still ahead, and there aren't many games remaining that Auburn can simply assume will become victories. That makes Tennessee potentially one of Golesh's best remaining opportunities to secure a signature win in his first season. Winning in Knoxville would change the conversation. It would give Auburn another SEC victory, put a major road win on Golesh's early résumé and make those seven-win aspirations considerably more realistic. Lose, and Auburn's margin for error becomes extremely small. So is Tennessee technically a must-win? It depends on what Auburn wants this season to become. If the Tigers want to reach some of those bigger year-one goals, Saturday feels enormous. #AuburnFootball #AlexGolesh #WarEagle Photo Credit: Calvin Mattheis IMAGN Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
