The Up Tempo Podcast

Everyone loves to debate trap games before the season starts. But here’s the problem: you have to be good enough to have one. In this episode, we make the case that Auburn doesn’t have a trap game anywhere on the schedule this season. Why? Because the Tigers haven’t earned the luxury of overlooking anyone. Every opponent deserves Auburn’s full attention, and every game is an opportunity to prove this program has taken the next step. We discuss why the “trap game” conversation doesn’t fit where Auburn is today, which games fans may be taking too lightly, and what has to change before Auburn can start worrying about looking ahead instead of simply taking care of business. Do you agree that every game should be treated the same, or is there still one matchup that qualifies as a trap game? Tune in and join the conversation. #auburnfootball #auburntigers #collegefootball #alexgolesh

Auburn enters the 2026 season with a new face under center, but who is Byrum Brown, and what should Tigers fans realistically expect from their new quarterback? In this episode, we take an in-depth look at Brown’s journey to Auburn, break down his strengths as a dual-threat playmaker, and discuss how his experience, athleticism, and leadership could impact the Tigers’ offense. We’ll also examine areas where he’ll need to improve as he transitions to SEC competition and why the talent around him will play a major role in his success.

Auburn football is entering a new era, and the momentum is hard to ignore. In this episode, we break down why there’s growing optimism under new head coach Alex Golesh—from recruiting wins and roster building to the culture shift and organizational changes taking place behind the scenes. Is Auburn finally laying the foundation for long-term success? We dive into what’s changed, what’s still ahead, and why Tiger fans have legitimate reasons to believe the program is headed in the right direction.
