We all troll each other from time to time. Most of it, I think is all in good fun to see if we can get a meltdown from somebody. However, I have seen one thing said over and over again, that I believe some people actually believe.

Some continuously say that Players like Marshall and Mason would not be successful if it were not for Malzahn's offensive scheme. And Malzahn's scheme is the only reason Auburn had a good year last year.

I admit I am not the sharpest tool in the shed, but isn't that what an offensive coordinator is supposed to do? Come up with a way to get more yards and put more points up on the board?

Isn't every offensive formation a scheme in and of itself? I mean why all the derision towards his offense? Nobody says anything about the Wishbone, or the Veer, or the "I" formation. The HUNH is just another offensive "scheme" if that is what you want to call it. It is a way to make defenses adjust to try to stop it, and, so far...nobody has been very successful at stopping it.

At one time the forward pass was considered trickery and a passing phase. I say give Malzahn credit where credit is due. He is an innovator and is changing the way the game is being played. Who knows for how long...but for now he should be considered a premier offensive mind. I like the way his offense plays better than Oregons.

If this is a post sucking up to Auburn because yall have been attempting (unsuccesfully) to troll them the last two weeks, it is still weak.

Every successful offensive minded coach / coordinator tweaks his system to fit the players available, or recruits players that fit perfectly in his system. This is not some groundbreaking discovery. The ability to adapt is why they are successful coaches. Not sure why a thread needed to be made about it..

Everything you have said is accurate...but haters hate. That is what they do.

AU is going to be just fine this year on offense and will be next year too.

There's no fun in that. When you are used and abused like me, you are not bright, either!

Look at Sumlin. He has made a career of pass fist, run later. His offense is 60-65 pass. He gets JFF, they run for two years.

He will pass again...thats what the good ones do.

Look at Spurrier. He passed at UF but had better RBs at USce...now he runs more.

It is every bit the nonsense you have said it is.

Won't change anything, once the propaganda's in motion it's hard to stop.

Most Auburn fans know and will tell you that I get on them pretty hard. However, I can also call things the way I see them. I mean, nobody seems to give Auburn credi, or Malzahn credit. Yet...nobody seems to be able to stop them.

Granted, nobody has stopped the A&M offense, either. But I've not seen them say it because of a "scheme" or that it is a fluke.

Sure, you make a good point. Every great coordinator changes to fit his personnel. Isn't that what Malzahn does? Yet, all anybody ever says is that he has a fluke offense and nobody gives him credit.

I can assure you, I am not an Auburn fan. But I can give credit when credit is due.

It's the rant, people will do anything to discredit others to justify their optimistic homerism.

Lemme get this thread started..

Marshall would absolutely suck at most any school who doesn't run the type of offense that Auburn does.

Mason is the man, love watching him, but pretty much any running back is gonna put up stats like his with the way they use him and how many touches they get. I guarantee whoever runs the ball for Auburn this year will replicate Mason's stats.
