That was when Gus Malzahn was in his glory days. He schemes up a perfect offense to fit the skill set and work around limitations of Nick Marshall. Ever since then Gus has been unable to
Adjust once defenses have taken away his run heavy mobile qb scheme. He then went with pocket passers like Stidham and has been at a crossroad ever since

Jeremy Johnson and Sean White were the pocket passers before that. Stidham was always listed as a DT.

This. Auburn was at their best when they really committed to the run and only took 13-15 pass attempts per game. Honestly not sure why Gus has gone away from that, but I'm glad.
I agree also about Marshall being one of the more undderated players in the SEC. He wasn't the most accurate QB, but he had touch on deep throws that made their offense tough to defend. Then you throw into account his 4.3 speed and physicality to take body shots.

I think it has been more the evolution of defensive players. Faster leaner players on defense are now able to catch up with Gus's speed/space based system. The HUNH would exhaust players of the past and would slowly grind down the defense. Defenses adapted and Gus hasn't.
