Pat Dye Field will be under the Saturday night spotlight as Auburn gears up for its 2025 home opener, welcoming Ball State to Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The Tigers return to the Plains riding high after a 38-24 victory over Baylor in Week 1, a result that gives them a golden chance to enter SEC play with an unbeaten record.
Ball State, meanwhile, limps into town after being blanked in its opener by a Purdue squad picked to finish at the bottom of the Big Ten. The matchup sets up favorably for Auburn, which will also host South Alabama the following weekend in the first-ever meeting between the in-state programs.
If the Tigers can take care of business in back-to-back weeks, they’ll roll into their Sept. 20 SEC opener at Oklahoma with momentum in tow—and already halfway to punching a ticket for bowl season.
