Malzahn reportedly won’t take back control of play-calling with this hire. Auburn had success — when it was healthy — under Lashlee’s play-calling in 2016. If Malzahn indeed gives Lindsey total control, expect some key differences in the Tigers’ offense.

First, the run-pass balance won’t be the same. At Southern Miss in 2015, Lindsey’s offense averaged 37.9 passes per game and 35.9 rushes per game. At Arizona State in 2016, it averaged 35.4 passes per game and 39.6 rushes per game. Contrast that with Auburn under Lashlee, which never averaged more than 25.5 passes per game and never averaged fewer than 45.1 rushes per game.

Lindsey’s offenses are usually more balanced, and they leaned pass-heavy in his high school days. But he doesn’t neglect the run — he had a pair of 1,000-yard rushers in 2015 at Southern Miss despite the fact the Eagles ranked 92nd in rushing attempts per game. He’ll build his attack around Auburn’s strengths, and the Tigers appear to have more balance coming their way in 2017 with the arrival of Jarrett Stidham.
