I thought Auburn people credited the defense for that run of success? Those defenses from 04-07 were outstanding
Those defenses were awesome but look at the difference between 2003 and 2004. The difference was bringing in Borges on offense. 2003 was still a great defense (all the same cast of characters in 2004 but add Karlos Dansby, Dontarrius Thomas, and Reggie Torbor at LB), but the offense was shite.
His West Coast offense took Jason Campbell from a liability to SEC Offensive Player of the Year and 1st round draft pick. Even the QB guru Petrino didn't get tons out of Campbell. The biggest thing though was Borges found a way to seamlessly and beautifully get Cadillac Williams and Ronnie Brown on the field at the same time and split the ball between them. That offense wasn't flashy, and Tubs kept it conservative but much like some of Malzahn's offenses, nobody was going to stop the 2004 Auburn offense if we really needed a score.
