Auburn football just shocked the college football world! The Auburn Tigers defeated No. 1 Georgia 27-24 in Athens, delivering their first road victory over the Bulldogs since 2005 and potentially changing the entire direction of Alex Golesh's first season. But was this more than just one incredible upset? On First Call, we break down why Auburn's victory over Georgia could completely reshape expectations for the remainder of the 2026 college football season. Byrum Brown delivered a remarkable performance, rushing for 115 yards while demonstrating the leadership and toughness that Auburn desperately needed. After taking a massive hit and briefly leaving the game, Brown returned with renewed energy and helped elevate the entire Tigers offense. Meanwhile, Auburn's offensive line delivered arguably its most impressive performance of the season. Was the improvement a result of better execution, or did changes to Auburn's offensive play-calling finally allow the Tigers to maximize their strengths? We examine how Alex Golesh and Joel Gordon approached Georgia's defense, why Auburn's offensive scheme looked dramatically different and whether those adjustments can continue against LSU. Darrell Dapprich also reflects on experiencing Auburn's unforgettable victory during the Auburn Daily Outcast watch-along. Where does this upset rank among the greatest Auburn victories of the last two decades? From the Kick Six to the Prayer at Jordan-Hare, Auburn fans have experienced some remarkable moments. Saturday's victory in Athens deserves a place in that conversation. With Auburn improving to 4-2, expectations have officially changed. Can the Tigers build on this momentum and make a serious push during the second half of the SEC schedule? #AuburnFootball #AuburnTigers #WarEagle
