Scarbinsky: Malzahn Already Giving SEC Coaches Nightmares

[Tiger Wench]

Pardon my estrogen, but aren't offensive linemen typically as big as or bigger than defensive linemen? Yet no one is concerned about their safety in the heat...?

[The Prowler]

Sorry Prowler they ain't fucking scared.

Sorry Godfather, but they've seen first hand what a two minute offense can do to their defense when it's run coming outta the gates. aTm & now Auburn will be running the HUNH (without handcuffs for Auburn). Auburn's offense kicks it into 6th Gear after the initial first down, if it's 10 or 50 yards downfield, it doesn't matter, Auburn's offense will be ready to hike the ball as soon as the ref spots it. Auburn will be conditioned for that style of play, most of the other teams won't be.

Exactly. 
Let those fuckers show me some empirical data showing that it's dangerous and I'll listen. 

[JR4AU]

Honestly, I think Scarbs is reaching.  I don't think they are scared of shit until we win some games.

What this guy said. 

[The Six]

Funny how Saban complains about this when his team USED a no huddle plan against LSU in the BCS CG two years ago. Oh, I guess that was okay though because it was Tha Tahd!

[GH2001]

Keep pushing it, Mister....Keeeeeeep pushing it.

Keep calm...listen to John Mayer, and think of your 30A sticker. All will be well.

Truth.

With regard to Malzahn's NHNUNHN offense, sorry, it just ain't that fast.  Gawd forbid I go there but if you wanted to see fast, look at Oregon(They're just so fast).  Under Kelly, they ran a true version of the UNHNN.  They ran a play, sprinted back to the line and snapped it the second everyone on offense came set.  They had to have 3-4 successive plays ready to go in their mind.  And to their credit, they did it very well. 

Malzahn's offense has never been like that with a few exceptions like when they have short yardage and sprint to the line with the QB under center.  Otherwise, they come back and get set quickly but then they prarie dog and see what play is signaled in.  I really don't think they're actually running plays so quickly that the D is dog tired.  The object seems to be to get set on the line quickly so the defense can't substitute and hopefully, they can call a play that gets them a mismatch with the defensive personnel on the field.

Thats great, they still aren't scared of Auburn.

Curiosity, whats your prediction for this year?  You had time to talk to your sources and weigh in on the subject yet? or do you want to wait until we see what happens with Marshall?

[Snaggletiger]

I can't see a soul being worried about this program until they step on the field and hang 35-40 on an SEC team...ANY SEC team. I'll be the first to say that Malzahn seems...seems to have come in and done all the right things to turn this program around, from coaching hires to recruiting to off season workouts to attitude etc.  But the rest of the conference hasn't heard and doesn't give two shits about that right now.  To the rest of the conference, Auburn is a team that has shown little talent, no physical or mental toughness and real bad habit of mailing it in early.  They haven't laid a lick on anyone since the LSU game last year and been outscored 8,254 to threeve in SEC play.

Personally, I'm optimistic about us being competitive much sooner than later.  But if the question is how the rest of the SEC perceives Auburn right now....they're all marking that one down as an easy win.

True...when Chiz hamstrung him.

7-5 or 8-4

I am assuming this is with Marshall at QB, because honestly I don't think we sniff 6 wins with our current QB's (Unless Johnson is the second coming, which as a true frosh, usually doesn't happen)

If we win 6 Gus should be awarded the Heisman.

Over AJ McTrophy????  Pffffffft.....

[Godfather]

If we win 6 Gus should be awarded the Heisman.

and the Lou Groza

[CCTAU]

I just wonder if we'll see the quick hand-off up the middle after every big pass play?

Or if we'll even see a big pass play?

That's some Big Gas Savings!

You don't say much anymore Mister, but when you do....
