re: Has Malzahn changed the culture at Auburn?

As the season gets closer and I watch more and more replays while working, I am starting to get the "Worries.

1. Mason was a beast last year. Dude was a down hill runner and a battering ram at times. I have said for a year that Cap was going to be great. I hope he is also watching what Mason did last year and is ready to do the same. We need that type of a runner.

2. There is no replacing Prosch. Dude was the best lead blocker we have had in a long time. Watching him work in the replays makes me wonder who and when we will have another guy like him.

3. Injuries - Losing Carl was huge. Don't kid yourself. He probably was our best defensive player. He gone.

4. Kozan was another loss. But I am more confident we can replace him.

5. If the rumors are true about Therozie, we screwed. He is now our best defensive player. Dude will knock your head off and we need his physicality.



I would love to see us just run the offensive very similar to last year. Doesn't really matter if you have time to prepare for it. If we are more physical at the line and our backs are bulldozers, we cant be stopped. Not sure that will be the case and we will lean on the passing game more. Does not make this old school guy happy.


But I still think we will be strong. Just very different.
