The whole entire country is well aware of Cam Newton, Gus Malzahn, and the Auburn offense. It is an incredible thing to watch (even for a Duck fan). However, I am curious about the Auburn defense. I know it has been criticized a little earlier in the year (especially the secondary). However, it seems to me as if the defensive coordinator makes superb second half adjustments. The Auburn defense was incredible in the second half against LSU and Alabama. Can any Auburn (or any fans for that matter) vouch for how good they are? What are their strengths and weaknesses? It seems to me that they don't get the credit they deserve.
Auburn faced 6-7 teams that either had a bye week or played a Div II team before playing us. This allowed them to have extra time to prepare extra looks that we had not seen in film. This was very problematic early on against MSU and Clemson as they spent much of their fall practice putting in a game plan for us.
Linebacker corps is very good against the run but has a lot of weak areas in coverage. this is mostly due to the fact we had to shift safeties around to help corners in coverage opening running lanes up as we had to move linebackers around some to cover the perimeter passing game. The last half of the Alabama game and the SECCG our secondary looked very solid but i have no idea if that will carry over.

If MSU spent all fall game planning against our offense, they failed miserably.
Clemson on the other hand was just a machine for that first half.
