re: Will Auburns offense be figured out this season?

Auburn doesn't run the read option nearly as much as they look, at least according to Gus himself. What they do is show the read option on nearly every play. The defense doesn't know if its going to be a half back dive, a QB keeper, or even an honest to goodness read option. What gives Auburn the advantage is that they know before the play where the ball is going and who is going to have it.

You have to be smart on defense to slow it down, but it can be done. However, Auburn's attack is particularly hard to solve because Gus is very smart about setting up plays in advance and waiting for the other team to give Auburn the match up he wants for a big play.
