If Auburn beats K State, it won't be because K State wasn't prepared

I've always admired Bill Snyder as a coach. He's probably had plenty of chances to leave for bigger and better things but he's decided to stay there. As a result, he consistently fields a team that probably has no business playing with the big boys but does.
Here's a great article from several years back detailing his approach. He may not have the horses, but I'm sure coaches from around the SEC will be tuning in to see if he provides the blueprint for beating the power spread attack.

I thought Chavis gave that blueprint last year.

Chavis uses mirror writing a la Da Vinci. Geniuses and all that.

Can we please stop calling it a spread?
FB+TE/H-Back =/= spread
FB+TE/H-Back =/= spread

I've read both of his books.
Let's remember - he built K St up, then retired, they fell to the bottom, he came back and rebuilt them again.
He is a very very very special coach and special man. He's one of the top five college football coaches of all time IMHO. Forget about win totals. He's the high because he is such a good coach AND a good man.

Let's not get carried away Scrooster.
I agree that Snyder is a formidable coach, but he also pioneered the formula of running up obscene scores against cupcakes. It almost worked for them in '98; thank god A&M pulled the rug out from under them in the conference championship game. Art Briles does it and people think he's a world beater.
Mizzou schedules cupcakes, but Pinkel uses them as tuneups. He never, ever runs up the score.
At any rate, I think Auburn takes care of business Thursday but it wouldn't surprise me if Snyder pulls off the upset. He's wily and strange things often happen in Mancrappin.
It should be interesting...

Replace that "or" with an "and" and you've pretty much recited the Auburn Creed.

You need look no further than Oregon's blowout of a top ranked K-State in the Fiesta bowl. They have no clue how to stop a spread attack. Auburn rolls in this game.

Auburn doesn't run the spread!

So, so true.

Who cares what people want to call it. AU will line up, open up gaping holes, and ram the ball down their throats. So in a sense, something is spreading.

KSU simply doesn't have the boys in the trenches to keep this one close. Auburn by three scores

You linked a 15 yr old article that references "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz.... think about that shite for a minute. You're trying too hard.

I just spoke with the library and they have agreed to not carry any books prior to 2008.
You Auburn fans are an insecure bunch. I wasn't disparaging your team. I was merely complimenting the K State coach. Dude is in his 70s and grinds harder than anyone. What he's pulled off in Manhattan is close to a miracle. Schematically, he'll have his team ready. They just don't have the bodies.
