ALERT: Auburn Football vs Southern Miss Preview | Byrum Brown Passing Test | Auburn Podcast

Auburn football escaped Baylor with a win, but now the Tigers have to prove they can handle success. Southern Miss comes to Jordan Hare Stadium with an opportunity to test Auburn in a completely different way, and this matchup could tell Auburn fans plenty about where this offense stands heading into the Florida game.

The biggest question is simple: how will Southern Miss defend Byrum Brown and the Auburn rushing attack?

Baylor held Auburn to just 130 rushing yards, and that performance could give Southern Miss a blueprint. Expect the Golden Eagles to make stopping the run a priority and force Byrum Brown to prove he can consistently beat them through the air. Until Auburn demonstrates that defenses will pay for loading the box, opponents have every reason to keep testing the passing game.
