Lacking Tougness at the Core

[jmar]

Anytime Auburn produces it starts with a solid core of linemen as in 2010. They don't necessarily have to be the meanest or strongest group, but they have to perform as a unit. This is what Malzahn is trying to will. Newton didn't return after that season and what remains looks to be Barber (like Ben Tate) doing much of it on a good deal of talent and a heap of willpower.
