Alex Golesh finally got his first SEC win last weekend when Auburn defeated Vanderbilt 21-15 at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
Now, he returns to Tennessee, where he used to be Josh Heupel's lead play-caller, looking for his first road win in the conference.
Can Golesh have a successful homecoming on Rocky Top against his former boss?
Or will the Tigers fall to 3-2 before the bye week? Georgia, LSU, and Ole Miss await after that.

Auburn Tigers at Tennessee Volunteers game prediction
The injury loss of Vols left guard Wendell Moe Jr. could open up the Tigers' interior pass rush. Will it disrupt Faizon Brandon enough after he and Tennessee scored just 17 points last weekend?
This feels like a get-back game for the Vols, while it could be a very difficult test for Joel Gordon and Byrum Brown's offensive communication within hostile Neyland Stadium.
It's good that Brown is battle-tested in Gordon's system, but Auburn's offensive line may not be able to hold up enough for it to matter.
Week 5 final score prediction: Tennessee 24, Auburn 14
