Auburn football running game dominates in season opener

The Auburn football team kicked off its 2025 season with a statement win over the Baylor Bears on Friday night, leaving Waco with a 38-24 victory. Though there were a few big catches, the run game was the major factor in the Tigers' win.

Senior running back Damari Alston ran for 84 yards and a touchdown while junior RB Jeremiah Cobb ran for 74 yards and a touchdown. They both carried the ball 16 times throughout the game, and transfer running back Durell Robinson picked up three yards on his only carry in the game.
