Auburn (2-0) is set to make its return to Jordan-Hare Stadium and they will be playing a familiar foe in the Samford Bulldogs (1-1).
The two teams haven’t faced each other since 2019 but this will be the 30th time they play. Auburn has never lost in the series, the closest being a 9-9 tie in 1927.
Samford will be looking to bounce back from a 30-7 loss to Western Carolina last week. The Bulldogs won the SoCon last season and were preseason favorites before the upset.
They are led by senior quarterback Michael Hiers, who is an FCS All-American and will be the best quarterback Auburn has played so far this season.
Here is a look at Hiers and several other Bulldogs you need to know before the game.
