Which would you prefer? Assuming both were equally effective.

Bama's is for real men, AU's is for queers.

All that matters is the equally effective part.

Gotcha

I'd go with Auburn. With a power running game along with plays and motions to keep defenses alert. It also recruits better talent.

I enjoy the "we will line it up and ram it down your throat if we need to" offense.

The championship game between Oregon & Auburn was sort of meh because of both offenses. Even though they didn't put up many points.

Auburn's is more exciting...but there is something about it that makes you look like a sissy.

Auburn's is more fun to watch, in my opinion.

Alabama's is fantastic for clock control and demoralizing the opponent.

I like Auburn's for its ability to score incredibly quickly and flashy, but there is a bit of a lure to seeing your team run the other team over down after down after down.

Personally, I think it makes the defenses facing it look like sissys.. Like, for example, when they're (the opposing team's defense) laying on the ground gasping for air.

We're a smash mouth offense that relies on a hard nosed running game, then play action, followed by trick plays when they're (opposing defense) least expecting it.

If they are both equally effective and both coaching staffs are having success recruiting for their offense, why should I care? :dunno

What's great about Alabama is you think you are playing a good game, and next thing you know, you are down 31-6.

7-0 1st quarter, 14-6 half, 21-6 3rd quarter, 31-6 final.

I wouldn't trade philosophies personally. Our offense is adept at running the HUNH, but has shown that when pressured to do so, they can line it up and play smash mouth and work the clock. If Alabama gets to far behind, I just don't believe their offense is designed to instigate a comeback.
