I really believe that we haven't seen much of anything as far as the offense is concerned yet. Probably won't until Clemson. I'm anxious to see how it's run because I don't really think it will be all that similar to what Loeffler ran at Temple. He was handcuffed by the athletes he had there. With the athletes Auburn has he has a lot of freedom to throw in a little option here and there or something else.

Yeah I think it would definitely catch the other team off guard. In fact I wonder how Clemson is going to gameplan for Auburn, they really can't know exactly what looks to expect. I wonder if that element of surprise if executed correctly will really work in Auburn's favor.

I cannot think of a time when I knew so little.

With less than a month to go, I cannot tell anyone what type of offense we wil run yet. Probably wont find out until LAbor Day weekend.

It probably won't be as run heavy, but I'd be willing to bet we run the ball at least 60% of the time this year. Westerman was quoted a few days ago as saying we're going to be pretty smashmouth in that regard.

I think we'll see a good bit of I formation, but I definitely think he'll mix it up enough to keep the defense guessing some.

I'd be surprised if we ran a true option with Frazier just because they don't want to get him hurt. The QB takes too much of a beating doing that.
