Auburn's Offense under Coach Malzahn....

[The Prowler]

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.

For some reason, I just thought of Kaos.

Because he would have hit the roof over me speaking of Tubs in this manner?

Hater.

Along with calling us all dumbasses in the most educated way possible.

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

Gimmicks.  As Kaos.

[No Huddle]

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.

[JR4AU]

NH, why do YOU think it is?

[War Eagle!!!]

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.
