re: Auburn offense with Sean White at Qb

A bigger deal than being a DT QB is that Sean White isn't an elite downfield passer (defined as 30+ yards). Malzahn's entire offense is based on vertically stretching the field opening up for big plays

That's one thing that irks me. Not sure WHY he struggles with the downfield passing. It seems that if you can hit the touch throws in the 15-25 yard range that the 30+ throws should be make-able as well. He basically is the anti Nick Marshall. Marshall overthrew everyone, White puts TOO much air under it.

To do this, he would be fundamentally changing his offensive philosophy. It isn't just tinkering but schematic changes

Maybe not. Do you not think that White could operate effectively running an offense similar to what Malzahn ran at Ark St. with Ryan Aplin?
