2008 - ranked 104
2007 - ranked 97
2006 - ranked 76
2005 - ranked 37
With the decline being so rapid, why or how does anyone think they will be so much better in one year? Yeah, I get they have Tulsa and Arky's offensive wizard, but really.. from 104 to what this year? How much improvement is realistic this year?

im not just saying this bc i am from Arkansas, or that Malzahn was our OC, but i can tell you this:
Malzahn will make Auburn potent on offense. This year my guess is they will finish top 50

They may make it back to the 80s this year. Malzahn is good but he's no miracle worker and it would take him prolly 3 years to get that offense back inside the top 30. Of course, he will be gone by then.

Why we will be improved on offense (in no particular order):
1. Offensive Assistants on the same page. Unlike 2008, the OC and assistants are all working together.
2. Improved OL. The offensive line will be bigger and stronger. There's a core group of four juniors and a senior... and Grimes (OL coach) has a strong "spread" background.
3. Improved WRs. Trooper Taylor is putting together a solid unit while infusing the freshman with the returning upper classmen.
4. Gus Malzahn. Our play-calling will improve, the in-game adjustments will improve, and his system better fits our current personnel.
5. Chris Todd's health. His arm-strength should be better than last year. He has the experience in spread offenses.
I don't think top 60 is out of the question, and to be honest..... at this point, the defense worries me more than the offense.

if their D keeps it close, they can win. Auburn may be a trap game for sure this year. Statistics can be very misleading and stats over an entire season can be very misleading when applying them to one game.

I think Auburn will be decent on offense. Tenn and Auburn are both in the same boat when it comes to offense.

but this year I bet they hang 5 points on Mississippi State which will be a sing that they have turned the corner under Chizik.
