re: 2004 RB depth chart was amazing

I think 2004 is a better all around team but 2010 would win by 10+.

Coaching/Scheme -
2004 had never played a HUNH offense with inverted veer/read option elements.

2010 Off vs 04 D -

It isn't just "can they handle Cam," Michael Dyer weighed more than all of the 2004 LBs and is a power runner. We had a super legit OL in 2010 coupled with a very awesome HBack in Smith.

While the AU DBs win vs our WRs, we had 3 good WRs in Zachary, Adams and Blake. I don't see them being able to defend all 3 given the disadvantage vs the run.


2010 D vs 04 Off -

Auburn's 2010 defense is one of the most underappreciated units in AU history. FEI ranked our our defensive efficiency as #8 nationally. We were #9 nationally in rush yards per game despite HUNH + playing the #3 hardest schedule by offensive rankings


The 2004 offense was ultra talented but I don't see them scoring 30+ points. I just don't see the interior OL holding up vs Nick Fairley & Clayton combo. The 2010 team averaged 3 sacks & 7.5 TFL against ranked teams.
