Auburn football's path to a 7-5 season is becoming clearer, and Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor's injury could significantly improve the Tigers' chances of reaching bowl eligibility under Alex Golesh. On Auburn HIT, Zac Blackerby breaks down Auburn's remaining schedule, the games the Tigers should win, and why reaching a bowl game could be especially important for the program's future. Auburn currently has four wins, and three remaining matchups stand out as opportunities to reach seven victories: Arkansas, Samford and Mississippi State. The injury situation surrounding Mississippi State quarterback Kamario Taylor changes the outlook for Auburn's trip to Starkville. Taylor's absence would make the Bulldogs a more favorable matchup for the Tigers. Auburn also hosts Arkansas and Samford, giving Golesh opportunities to build momentum before the Iron Bowl against Alabama. Could Auburn enter the Iron Bowl with a 7-4 record and a road victory over Georgia already on its résumé? But this isn't just about the final record. Bowl eligibility would give Auburn additional practices to evaluate younger players, develop future starters and prepare for the 2027 season. One of the biggest names to watch is quarterback Tristan Tia. Could Golesh use those extra practices to give Tia valuable first-team repetitions while Byrum Brown finishes the season as Auburn's starter? Offensive lineman Ty Buster is another player who could benefit from additional development time after dealing with injuries. The Tigers could also use bowl preparation to evaluate their roster, establish plans for returning players and identify offseason needs. Auburn still has difficult challenges ahead, including Ole Miss and Alabama, but the possibility of a seven-win season is becoming more realistic. Would you consider 7-5 a successful first season for Alex Golesh? #AuburnFootball #WarEagle #SECFootball Photo Credit: Caitie McMekin Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
