More than any other HC in my lifetime, Malzahn seems to really enjoy the long hours and hard work involved in getting a team ready for each and every game. I just don't see us ever losing because we come out flat or poorly prepared.

I agree. Malzahn wakes up thinking about football and goes to bed thinking about football. He and the players have a bad taste in their mouths from how last season ended. Every interview a player gives, they talk about it. They have been busting their arses this offseason. They'll be ready.

Also, I know Lawson is a good player. But I there were many games last year that Owens outplayed him, including the NC. Many are overlooking Owens, and I think he is going to show out this year. And remember that Holland is gone and Mocrief is gonna be a beast. The defense will be better than last year.

I'm fired up!

Prior to Gus, we had no fundamental foundation to become a powerhouse, we were just hoping the stars would align. That was Auburn football.

Gus changes everything. And the lost NCG adds fuel to the fire.

I'd love to have seen Chris Davis intercept Crablegs with 13 seconds left in the game to seal the most magical season in CFB history. And I think Gus would've put together good to great teams in the years to come.

But now, I don't doubt 2013 will eat him up for years to come and that focus will rub off on the players no matter how many NCs they win. Gus would probably have to win several NCGs to get over January something 2014.

That's a change.
