Auburn football vs. South Alabama
AUBURN — For the first time in its 133-year history, Auburn football will square off with a new in-state foe on Saturday, Sept. 13, (11:45 a.m. CT, SECN) playing host to South Alabama.
It’s historic, in the sense that the Tigers will now have competed against six of the seven Division I programs in their home state. But the stakes are even more considerable.
Auburn enters as a three-plus touchdown favorite, and should it follow through, it’ll maintain an undefeated start, going 3-0 to kick off a season for the third time since 2019. The table would be as set as ever for the Tigers to have a turnaround campaign, which they sorely need in the aftermath of a step-back season last fall in Year 2 under Hugh Freeze.

Auburn football vs. South Alabama: Predictions, picks for Week 3
- Adam Cole: Auburn 38, South Alabama 17
- The rundown: It if can come through with an expected result against the Jaguars, Auburn will be halfway to bowl eligibility heading into SEC play. South Alabama should provide a healthy contest, especially for Auburn’s defense, and a chance to grow further.
- Jaeden Day: Auburn 45, South Alabama 13
- The rundown: Auburn was ranked for the first time since November 2021 this week. It’s on a mission to not only stay there, but move up. From Week 1 to Week 2, coach Hugh Freeze is obviously improving his squad, expect the matchup against South Alabama to look like a polished product on the offensive side of the ball.
