In response to "I'm blown away by what they did to Mizzou...I just worry (for them) that they allowed over 500 yards offense and let Mizzou go toe to toe with them " by Jim

My primary concern with Auburn is overconfidence.

Teams that have tried to load up against the run for Auburn have still gotten beaten...and by the run. Malzahn's playcalling instincts are as good as I have ever seen. I referenced it earlier but if you didn't know, he called the plays for that RUN-DMC offense at Arkansas. He also led Tulsa when they were #1 in the nation in total offense in consecutive seasons. And he called the plays for Cam Newton's year at Auburn. Malzahn's offense has been in the wild for long enough now that teams should be able to stop it. Nobody does. That tells the whole story for me.

I know they're tough...but after, I don't know...400 yards rushing...wouldn't you stuff the box? - Jim Dec 9, 13:09 2
- The fact that they played so well without Franklin blows my mind. -- nm - David Dec 9, 13:11 1
  - Get ready to hear the name Maty Mauk a lot. Redshirt freshmen and the kid's got skills. -- nm - Jim Dec 9, 13:13
