SIAP. Don't give me any shite about BR though. They have some of the best breakdown articles that are being written right now on college football teams.
This one hits on the three options of the read option and how we key on the defensive end primarily.
Seems so simple but as athletic is Marshall is, his task is often simply to beat the defensive end (which Prosch just ignores on his way to hit a LB, DB, or safety) and he usually does.

Parts of the article are interesting but then they make statements like this
This isn't new information on the read option and isn't unique to Marshall or AU football. High school QB's that run the veer or read option are taught to do the exact same thing. I was impressed by the offensive stats mentioned in the article. AU's running attack seems to be nearly unstoppable and I can't wait to see it in person on 1/6/14
quote:
Auburn's offensive line leaves that defensive end untouched, and based on his actions, Marshall decides whether to hand the ball off to his running back, or pull it back and keep it himself. If the end keeps his eyes on Marshall and hesitates, hoping to contain the quarterback outside, Marshall will hand off the ball inside. If the end crashes inside and goes after the running back, Marshall will hang onto the ball and run around the end for a gain to the outside.

Don't remember anything in the article saying that what Gus is doing is somehow revolutionary or unique.
Justin Lee was just describing WHAT he is doing (and doing well).

I should have read a little further….

It's nothing that hasn't been done before. Auburn's version of the read option is hardly revolutionary
I guess I went into the article expecting to read new and exciting material on the read option at AU….how they were making it their own. But its the same ole read option. It just has a very talented QB and RB running it.

Yeah, nothing revolutionary and the article points that out.
Seems to work because we have the athletes to execute it well and a great oline.
Then (though the article doesn't mention it) the pacing seems to really help. Probably because when the D doesn't have much time to gather themselves and gets winded or feels rushed, they probably have more trouble maintaining discipline in their assignments.
Best idea seems to be bama's approach, not to aggressively attack it but rather try and contain it and be ok giving up 4 yards, hoping for a negative play to stall a drive at some point.

An article mentioned this exact scenario against Mizzou IIRC.

I fully agree. I know FSU's defense is very similar to bama's in the aspect that they both take the sit and wait approach. Their entire defense is fast enough to wait on the play to develop and make the correct read and fit. I believe one of the differences in this game will come down to NM being able to make the simple 8-12 yard throws to open receivers, while on the run…..which he is very capable of doing.

Pretty good stuff.

This and the fact that Marshal may be the best at the fake I have ever seen. I think someone quoted Gus as saying that Cam was better than Marshall at everything but the fake. He fools CBS/ESPN cameramen more than anyone I have ever seen...
