Auburn runs more power out of the spread than anything.

Usually it isn't even out of the spread. Often it is from the inverted veer and sometimes the team gives an initial spread look but then shifts players into the backfield pre snap.

I think our defensive coordinator have an apt description of his offense in his meeting with the media after practice yesterday.

quote:

“It's a multiple attack,” Ash said. “They will attack you down hill with powers, counters, down-hill zones and then they can attack the perimeter with outside plays. They've got speed to get to the edge and get around you even if you've got leverage so we have got to do a good job of keeping the ball in front of us, get off blocks and get great pursuit and tackle.”

Ash was asked about the success Arkansas' defensive line, particularly Trey Flowers, had against Auburn in last year's game. Ash downplayed that as far as this year's game is concerned. “Last year is so far away from we are right now,” Ash said. “Auburn is a completely different team. Last spring I looked at Auburn when we were first here and studying SEC offenses. When you see Auburn's offensive line now compared to last year it's not even close. They're not the same team.

“Of all the offenses I've been able to defense the past few years not a lot of people run the true down-hill zone read like they do any more. So it's a unique challenge. “It's a little bit different challenge for our guys they haven't necessarily seen this style of offense this year.”
