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.


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.

We haven’t had a decent oline in a few years. That’s been our problem

For too many years Gus hasn't been able to recruit top star oline talent and it's hampered his ability to put his signature running attack on the field. Gus is stubborn to a fault with his offensive scheme and play calling.
