Here is a very good article on Malzahn's offense
It appears to be at the core, misdirection, the read option, innovative blocking called arc blocking to protect the QB.
==================
If this is the case it seems Gus must have a mobile QB to run it.

As much as I bash it(and I don't really bash it too much) I'm intrigued by Auburn and Malzahn's offense. It's fun as all hell to watch, and with top athletes it's down right dominant right now.

You should read that article, it's informative but not too long.

No, not really. Chris Todd did just fine in his offense and he was a living statue. Still averaged 430yds/g in 2009.

Had to google.
So Malzahn is able to forgo read option and pass more, depending on QB?

Check his Tulsa stats.

Hmmmm....
Gus seems diverse.

Yup...Cam led the conf in passer rating and threw 30 TD passes in 2010.

Make you cover the entire field wide and deep, and have your defensive backs angrily cursing each other out

Well, to the OP
Les/Cameron won't be doing this. Don't know about the others. I suppose another question is: How will defenses adapt to Malzahn?

Malzahn has a running game that incorporates many of the standard blocking schemes, but from a spread formation.
If you watch the guards, you can see the "buck sweep" where both guards pull, the power where the backside guard pulls. CGM uses an H back sometimes to trap block or lead. It is power running game with play action and zone read mixed in depending on the core strengths of his QB.
The running game also utilizes orbit motions with reverses every now and then.
It is more productive with a great offensive line and a mobile QB, but most offenses are.

Auburn had good players on offense not great. They beat people by running a few plays really well out of a handful of formations at different tempos.

Is that the arc blocking referenced in article above?

arc blocking referenced in article
Arc blocking is where the load the backfield with 2 H backs and they essentially lead the QB by "arc blocking" anyone who gets depth.
FSU played our QB runs really well. The DE/OLB got good depth and did not allow NM to run wild. Mason killed them up the middle especially when TJ was on bench. Of course, if we develop a more consistent passing game, it could benefit us against teams that commit to stopping QB runs.

The key to Malzahn's offense is the cows in the field. Practicing around the cows creates an entirely different dimension in the Auburn offense.

Gus's Offense has changed every year since he has been in the college game. Watch what he did at Arkansas and compare it to what he did at Tulsa. His AU Offenses have looked different every year. I expect AU to run 50% of last years Offense with 50% of the 2008 Offense, depending on who the RB wins the starting role. The one element missing from all of Gus's Offense in the past, is a defense that compliments his HUNH. He might have that next year.
