With the large number of records that've been rewritten by Coach Malzahn's Offense in only about a year and a quarter, the number that surprises me happened last Saturday. In only a year and four games, Auburn has rushed for over 300 yards in 4 games in that time frame. A feat that, before Coach Malzahn came to Auburn, took 6 YEARS to accomplish ('03-'08).

Well, that shit happens when your philosophy is 3 yards and a cloud of dust. And also when a defensive minded head coach interferes with an OC's play calling. The same head coach whose new team just set a new 10 year low for offensive yards in a game (144 total yards). Just saying......this totally justifies the stat you posted and makes total sense.

Da' skreets have spoken.

Ole Tubs didn't have no gimmicky offenses though, even when he had a gimmicky OC, he didn't allow no fucking gimmicks.

Prowler why do you think he has been able to do so?

Gimmicks. As Kaos.

Ok besides that.

Because contrary to public belief, propagate by the likes of Shane from Centerpoint and the like, Malzahn runs the ball, and does it with straight up tried and true run schemes. Every bit of what he does comes from I formation, or Wing T type gap blocking schemes, and the "new age power run game" in the Zone stuff. Aint a bit of his run game "gimmicky". Though he unveiled some new twists against USCe, they were still just new looks off the same stuff. Really quite interesting if you like Xs and Os, and the football blogs and coaching boards are all abuzz about it and Newton. FWIW.
The PA Pass game, same same.
Only thing "gimmicky" about Malzahn is that he will run a "trick play" most any game...once or twice (though didn't against USCe) unless you count a reverse as a "gimmick". Other than a play or two here and there, it's standard stuff. Calling Malzahn "gimmicky" is like calling Paul Johnson a "spread passing" coach because his backs are lined up in the slot, and they pass it occasionally.

NH, why do YOU think it is?
-
I love "1 year plus 1/4th of a different year for a total of 17 games but that is playing the 12 game schedule" stats...

I feel the same way you do. I think I said that before and I do not feel it is gimmicky (is that even a word?). My question was to Prowler. He always has a different view than most and I wanted to hear it. I like his approach. But thank you for a great answer.

I feel scorned now...like I hijacked a thread.

Good thing his skreets are solid.

Last year, I feel a lot of it was due to not knowing what Coach Malzahn could do with Auburn's talent. The misdirection runs, the Manly Wrap Around Draw, the emergence of Ben Tate, Darvin Adams, Chris Todd, Cam Newton and the OLine had a the most to do with it.
Before the '09 and '10 Seasons:
Coach Malzahn's Offense - "That gimmicky shit ain't gon work against SEC Defenses, The Wildcat is a gimmicky offense and it'll never catch on, Auburn's players aren't good enough to run his style of offense." (Wrong, Wrong, Wrong and Coach Malzahn runs his offense to the team's strength)
Ben Tate - "He'll never be able to live up to his hype and he's not fast." (Wrong and Wrong)
Darvin Adams - "Who? How many stars was he?" (Defenses know who #89 is now. 3 Stars)
Chris Todd - "If Chris Todd starts we're doomed and we'll lose more than 8 games, Tony Franklin's waterheaded QB, yada, yada." (Wrong, Wrong, correct but Coach Malzahn isn't Coach Franklin...Thank God)
Cam Newton - "He won't be able to run against SEC Defenses." (So far, WRONG)
The Big Nasties - "Lee Ziemba is a drive killer with his false starts, Chop Block U, they're the reason why Auburn can't run the ball." (Lee Ziemba wasn't the one false starting just about every game last year, no need to chop block when the defense is on their heels with the HUNH, it's hard to block defenders when there's about a 100lb. difference, as it was under Coach Franklin...OLineman weight isn't an issue anymore)
As long as a Coach, like Gus, stays at Auburn records will continue to fall.

Thanks partner.

IMO, it isn't that Malzahn lifted several of the best high percentage run plays or utilizes economy with zone blocking or employs motion and multiple sets to confuse or pace to break a defenses will or familiarity with his system or an abundance of talent, but all of the above. The good news is that we have so much room for improvement and have yet to play our best game. If the defense can combine two halves at a high level with the offense, some type of football euphoria might set in. I think that's what we all hope to experience. And I just heard Chizik allude to improvement and the best game yet on the news without the power of skreets and Les Miles is speaking and my head is spinning. Stand by...

Another record get rewritten, this time by Cam and Emory...Todd to Zachery record stood for all of one year.
speaking of Les, did anyone else see him eat a booger in the first half? I think he's slightly retarded, because I seem to remember another booger eating incident.

All boogers aside, we don't even know what many of our guys can do due to lack of touches in game situations. Blake is impressive after the catch.

Along with calling us all dumbasses in the most educated bloviated, patronizing and condescending way possible.

I thought you said bovinated at first and thought you had been in Tejas too long.
You'll go to heaven when you die. Married to a coonass and living in Tejas, you've spent your time in hell.

That deserves a nice morning chuckle. Lets have some Tequila with our gator snacks.
