This x2
As far as the offense goes people are reading too much into what Gus used last season and not his whole body of work. He changes his play calling to fit his players from year to year and depending on how Marshall evolves in the passing game we could see something completely different this year.
A side note - I can't believe someone is actually taking up for Kiffin on his NFL comments

The offense will be different this year. There will be more emphasis on the passing game

Yup. You can also go back 4 years.

If you have followed Gus's career, you would see that he has not run the same Offense two years in a row. That will be the case this year, with more weapons at WR and more comfort by Marshall. I think AU Offense will be harder to stop this year.

I would say for the most part, Alabama's defense held the Auburn offense in check. 28 points is bad, but not terrible considering that Auburn's offense was hitting on all cylinders at that point in the season.
The fact that we couldn't score more than 30 points against that defense was the embarrassing part.
It's always ironic to me when people in the media say that Gus has Saban's number. Look at how Gus's offenses perform against Alabama defenses.
2013: 28 points
2011: 0 points
2010: 28 points
20109: 21 points
Basically, you score 30 points or more, you win. Alabama only had 3 games in which they did not score 30 or points in 2013: Auburn, Miss St.(20-7) and Ole Miss (25-0).
That's why to me, the Auburn defense was much more impressive in the IB than the offense.

Oh and in comparison to LSU

Auburn 09- 10pts
Auburn 10- 24 PTs
Auburn 11- 10 PTs
Auburn13- 21 pts(against backups)

Is Gus the special teams coach? I clearly specified in the original post that those numbers were from Malzahn's offense. Didn't think it would be that hard to understand.
quote:
Not Gus's offense
Yes it was. 14 points were scored in the game. 7 by AU's defense, 7 on a kickoff return. Gus's offense put up 0 points.

You have Cam Newton and you are forced to come back to win by 1 point? Doesn't seem that solid to me.

Yes. He has immense talent. Having Duke on the other side should only help him as long as Duke lives up to a fraction of the hype.

This is truth. Kid has game, as was recognized by anyone with an eye for talent, including his HS principal back in the day.

However, Auburn was depleted by the draft the previous. They had not stock piled talent the manner LSU/Bama did in the previous years, so they relied on RS and true freshmen to fill many of their offensive roles. Roles they were just not quite ready for. Throw in that he was looking around for a new home, and no it was not his true offense. For Example, Tre Mason was a true freshman in 2011. 2009 they had to rely on Chris Todd to lead them.

You had a Heisman winning RB, and a Heisman runner up at RB. Seems solid. I will say he should have exploited your young secondary more.

Well you can keep looking at what Gus did with Chizik as boss but as a HC Gus scored 20 more points than what Bama was giving up (24 if you count what they were averaging before Auburn) and beat Saban. You can brag about what Saban did when Gus had Trotter and Chizik but Gus's teams have scored on average over twice what Saban's defenses were giving up.

Anyone not flaming can see that 2011 was Chizik holding Gus back during the season.
There is a reason AU rolled up nearly 500 yards in the. Chik fil a bowl a month after being blanked.

I dont think we will change until someone forces Gus to do so. No one could stop this offense last season, no reason to change it. The spring game did not look much different. Looks like Gus did bring back the out route to the sideline that was so deadly in 09 and 10. But the O will be the same, maybe more WRs running routes for the option pass than blocking this year.
