Auburn football players take the field at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Ala., on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2021. Auburn Tigers leads Alabama State Hornets 20-0 at halftime.
Auburn football is in for their first real test this weekend on the road at Penn State, but the Nittany Lions could be facing trouble behind the scenes. After The University of Southern California lost at home to Stanford, the program announced they would be parting ways with head coach Clay Helton, and one of the first names thrown out as his replacement was none other than Penn State head coach James Franklin.
