im not sure what your definition of "analysis" is, but leaving out data to meet your theory is not in mine.

that said, chris todd couldn't run for shite and that season look awfully similar to Cam's and Marshall's seasons. if you look at his time at tulsa i think you will find this theory is not very solid.

THAT SAID, im fine having a good DT qb.

whoever made the comment about running the ball and stopping the run is exactly right. the 2010 defense is a prime example of that.

Sorry man...but I don't see Tulsa being anything similar to the SEC.

Gus has been in charge of an offense in the SEC for 7 years which is more than enough data to draw conclusions.

My conclusions are:
1. Gus' system is wonderful with a dual-threat QB
2. Gus flopped trying to force Jeremy Johnson into pass-first QB. Sean White wasn't a ton better.
3. Time to get a dual-threat QB back in Auburn. Hopefully Woody B or someone else is that answer.
