Tennessee gets another SEC test Saturday, and the coach standing on the opposite sideline knows plenty about the Vols.
Auburn comes to Neyland Stadium for a 3:30 p.m. kickoff with first-year head coach Alex Golesh, who served as Josh Heupel’s offensive coordinator at Tennessee in 2021 and 2022.
Both teams enter the game 3-1. Tennessee is trying to rebound from last week’s 20-17 loss to No. 1 Texas, while Auburn arrives after a 21-15 victory over Vanderbilt.
Saturday also marks Auburn’s first true road game of the season.
