Auburn Coach Alex Golesh Reflects on Recent Victory Over Georgia
Auburn Tigers head coach Alex Golesh is reflecting on his team's recent victory against the No. 1-ranked Georgia Bulldogs, which ended with a score of 27-24 in Athens. Following the game, Golesh noted a significant increase in communication, receiving over 500 unread texts on his phone, a stark contrast to the few messages he received after a previous loss to the Florida Gators.
Despite the win, Golesh expressed dissatisfaction with the team's current standing, as Auburn holds a 4-2 record and is unranked, sitting seventh in the SEC. He emphasized the need for continuous improvement, focusing on fundamentals such as pad levels and coverages. The coaching staff dedicated nearly three hours to reviewing game tape to identify areas for enhancement.
Looking ahead, Golesh is aware of the challenges that lie ahead, including a matchup against No. 18 LSU in Week 8. He aims to keep the team grounded, recognizing the importance of balance in their performance and mindset.
