re: Why can't Auburn maintain success.

When practice is geared towards working on running as many plays as possible as fast as possible and there is no time to stop and teach defensively it very much effects that side of the ball. From what I read Gus backed off on that last year as part of his deal with Muschamp, but sounds like he wants to return to it this year.

Very telling IMO.

I'd have to think that practicing the running schemes so much would also have an affect on the development of the WRs. As the WRs would be used primarily for blocking for the run rather than catching the football.

Maybe that's why Gus hasn't put a stand out WR into the pro's (other than Coates in the 3rd round) in his 10 yrs of coaching college ball?
