Contradictions everywhere. Ellis Johnson was your DC in '13 and '14. You played for the NC once in 2 years with Nick Marshall at QB and Ellis Johnson as DC. So what changed, really? The answer is your o-line and running game changed.

If you had to point to the primary reason that Auburn made it to the NC in 2013 it was that o-line and running attack. That's why you didn't play for the NC in 2014.

Damn, if only Alabama fans could be our Head Coach, we'd never lose again.

AU was #3 on the first Playoff poll. Then AUs D collapsed. You forget that Nick and Co put 630 yards on Saban/Smart that year. The OL and RBs were not an issue.

Neither of those were to blame. Of course neither were quite as good as the year before, which lead to one of the GOAT rushing attacks, but the defense was.
