What I will never understand is why Gus didn't run the read option with Nix similar to what he did with Marshall. Marshall was probably the best fit for that offense that year

I don't know, you damn sure couldn't stop it. The argument has always been the SEC caught up with Gus's offense. They caught up with his changing personnel, not his principles. He is the one that talked himself out of what was working. At least I know Bama never took it away and can't recall anyone else doing it.
