sure, he had a good passing offense with some different QBs. but he never found the kind of success from that type of offense that he's had with Cam and now Marshall as a running QB. Power run game >>>> short/intermediate passing game


What? We threw for nearly 1k more in 2010. Pretty sure the ideal QB for Gus, absent a Cam like player, is an athletic QB who is a better passer but a serviceable runner.

I think Marshall is the 2nd best QB Gus has had at Auburn or anywhere else, and he is clearly a better runner than passer. this year's AU offense was dynamite. you don't get the same results with more passing. the power run game gives you a physical advantage over the defense. plus you make it a lot easier and more fun for your OL by asking them to run block all day long.
