Reading the Mizzou butthurt thread about the SECCG and Auburn's defense got me wondering about a couple of things and a post I remember seeing a while back.

1. Is Malzahn's offensive look and scheme from last year his offense in its truest form? I watched the 2010 SECCG yesterday because I'm AUBsessed, and you could tell it was a Gus offense obviously. It was a good bit different and more pass oriented than this past year.

2. Is ^ a result of QB trust? Is it safe to assume Gus won't entirely ditch that triple-option bonanza, but use more of that high flying spread eagle that wrecked shite so much in 2010? Nick Marshall has 1 year under the system so I'm guessing his experience should open up the playbook, as with any QB who goes through a season and experiences the rigors of adversity and having to make big time plays in big games.

3. If 2 is incorrect, then when Gus has THE qb that he wants, will the offense have a slight shift to accommodate his strengths? Thank you.

Cam was a better inside runner than Nick, Nick was faster to the edge than Cam. Cam was there for the Spring and had a better grasp of the passing game than Nick. Nick now has had a Spring practice and his WRs are waaaaaaay better than Cam's.

I guess what I'm saying is....we're still gonna kill everybody.
