I haven't read any of this thread but this seems to be a good a place as any....
I'm curious as to what Malzahn's game plan will be. Will Malzahn do what he does best and run, run, run? Or will he put the ball in Marshall's hands and have a passing attack to surprise Bama's defense? What's his personality?
Typically a self confident (or should i say, "team confident"?) coach will just say, to hell with subterfuge, I'm doing what we do best and if they stop it, so be it. I really hope that is what he does. If he comes out throwing though, I actually think AU can go up quick on us like A&M and have us on our heels not knowing what will come next. That would be much harder to defend...provided Marshall gets off to a hot start. I really think Malzahn can get his first few series planned out over the next two weeks and practiced over and over so Marshall feels confident in the plays. Alabama of course will be in a base run safe type defense. The play action to start the game will absolutely burn us if our corners can't cover man to man.
I'm actually more worried about this scenario than Malzahn just trying to run it all day. Should I be?

Auburn fan should be more concerned about their defense against Bama's offense.

Alabama will be in their 2009 tebow defense IMO. Mobile qb with questionable passing. The questions to ask are:
Is the bredth of the AU run game enough to open up the pass, and can Marshall take advantage?
Simply, Marshall will have to have a very good game. QB's having a good game seems to be a common requirement against Alabama-Saban teams, and it makes sense when you think about it: not many schools have elite quarterbacks. Good game plan from UA.
