The Alex Golesh era has officially begun on The Plains, and Auburn fans are buzzing about one question — is Running Back U back? In this episode of Auburn Express powered by The War Rapport, Mike G and Caesar Walker dive deep into Golesh’s offensive philosophy, his commitment to “run the frickin football,” and what that means for Jeremiah Cobb and the Auburn backfield heading into 2026. Last season, Golesh’s South Florida team rushed for nearly 3,000 yards, with quarterback Byron Brown carrying the load. But the SEC is a different beast, and that means Auburn’s running backs — including Cobb — must shoulder more of the ground game. Mike and Caesear debate whether Auburn’s offensive line can become as physical as Tennessee’s under Golesh’s leadership and if Jeremiah Cobb can develop into the next Tre Mason-type runner. They also break down recruiting strategy, offensive line development, and what Auburn needs to do to get back to dominating on the ground in the toughest conference in college football. 📍 Chapters 00:00 – Alex Golesh Era Begins 02:00 – Jeremiah Cobb’s Fit in Golesh’s Offense 05:30 – Building Auburn’s Offensive Line 09:00 – Comparing Golesh’s System to the SEC 13:00 – Jeremiah Cobb’s Future Role 17:00 – Auburn Running Back History 20:00 – What Auburn Must Do Next Learn more about your ad choices.
