Big pick up. 2016 top recruits are flying off the board.

Yeah... a more balanced offense should scare anyone.

I agree with the poster. Would rather see you pass the ball.

The last HS five-star WR #Auburn signed? 2002's Ben Obomanu. That shows you how important Dameyune Craig is to this staff.

Nate Craig to #Auburn is every bit as big as the 2 commits to #UGA this weekend. 2016 class leaders popping early. Franchise receiver. #WDE





He is a 95 and both Eason and Cleveland are 98s...

247 has him as the 9th WR right now.

Doesnt make much sense why an elite receiver would pick Auburn these days.

Ahh yes the fans that think Malzahn has run it 70% of the time his whole career Sean White and Jeremy Johnson will throw it a lot more.

Huge get.

Kid is arguably the top WR in FL for '16 in a loaded yr.

Congrats Auburn fans.

Yes, because being able to open up running lanes by being a threat to air it out isn't scary at all? Makes perfect sense.

Cute.

I like how you purposefully used his lowest ranking in all the recruiting sites instead of using the composite which most people go by.

Scouts: 5*, #1 WR, #8 overall
ESPn: #1 WR, #6 overall
Composite: 5*, #2 WR, #17 overall

Most good passers can't run like Cam or Marshall. If you don't have to worry about the QB running for TD's, the offense changes.

Because ignorance leads many opposing fans to think Auburn's 2013 offense is the norm?

If you follow the path of conversation you can ascertain that RandySavage and myself came to the conclusion that auburn's running offense is very effective and efficient for achieving yards.....

therefore...per conversation in this thread we can determine Gus's change of operating a more balanced offensive scheme....or..passing the ball more often than last year...changes that dynamic...We can all agree..you can't run for downs and throw simultaneously...so..for example...instead of rushing on 3rd down..you may attempt to complete a pass...so far so good right?

Now if you're team can rush for as many yards as you did last year while splitting your time with passing yards (splitting time refers to being balanced)I will concede that Auburn has the greatest offense in the history of the game...seeing how that is statistically improbable..

not to mention that it's easily observable upon review of most games last year,auburn's rushing attack could not be stopped..I conclude that IMHO.."an auburn offense willing to pass more often makes me way more comfortable" because that rushing attack is phenomenal..

Simply put..for you...I prefer to see you guys pass than run the ball 500 times..

More simply put...your offense last year was about as good as it gets...I'm confident..becoming more balanced will not buy you more yards...that is not a slight that is compliment
