I'm putting this in this forum just because I'm not sure where I should and I'm to lazy to look right now.

My question or thought of the night. Auburn and their rushing attack.

Does the teams in the SEC start to copy this? Or by next season with all the film from this year is there a way someone figures out how to slow this down and it just fades to an after thought?

Malzahn has the perfect personnel for the rushing attack he wants to have. We're seeing it at it's full potential.

It might be limited by some damn good defense, but it can't be stopped.

Agree with everything you said.

Don't believe this offense can be fully stopped, but just with every other new scheme of offense that appears you can bet a way to slow it down will as well. No offensive scheme is without a weakness and just like all the rest, one will be found with this one.

I won't say it can't be stopped. It's just something that's hard to prepare for because you only see it once a year. It's much like the Georgia Tech when they gave people a lot of trouble. Actually looking at it it's just like the triple option only they are playing out of the shot guy.

FSU will stop it because much like LSU they have a very athletic front 7 who understand how to keep backside contain, and DE's who turn plays back into their LBs

Malzahn designed his offense after reading a book called the Delaware........ (don't know the rest of the title).
He made the statement in an interview.

To me this offense is great. Its old school dressed up in new shoes. Pound pound pound. Then hit you deep. It looks so simple to watch on TV that its frustrating to see it look so easy. I think more teams try to copy it. But I see defenses adapting quicker than most think. I also believe Alabama should have won that game. For some reason i think Saban called a bad game. I saw an ESPN article already predicting back to back for Auburn.

It really doesn't have much in common with the GT Triple Option at all. Gary Danielson mislabeled it and everybody ran with it. In my opinion it has much more flexibility than the triple option as Malzahn can adapt it to a QB that can pass the ball(see 2009 and 2010).

Get some damn good corners and safeties and bring the house in the middle and hope your guys can hang in man coverage. That's how you stop it

The Sumlin model was to try to out score him. That was our only defense last year and we all see how that turned out. Auburn just wears you down and when you finally cheat up, they'll go on top of you with slant route. Really frustrating and difficult.

Ummmm...I'm pretty sure UGA's average defense stopped it in the second half of their game.

Unless you are claiming their offense is based on Hail Mary passes.

You're thinking of the Delaware wing t. But to classify his offense as a wing t would be wrong.

He runs a lot of power and zone. Which wing t teams don't really use. The only real wing t play he runs is buck sweep.

You realize he's been in the SEC for 5 or 6 seasons now, and they still can't stop him. I don't think another year of film will make a difference.

Someone will eventually figure out how to stop it. But most offenses with a lot of talent with talent this is suited to the system will be hard to stop.

Every great offense gets figured out. People act like this offense is something that's never been seen before. Yes it was good and it may be good next year, but it won't last.

I disagree. Any truly great offense has constraint play built in that prevent people from loading up on any one thing.

And he's been doing this for awhile now.

The only way this offense can survive is for it to include a myriad of variations. Take the offense Osbourne ran at Nebraska, it was even more prolific than Auburns but it eventually got figured out.

The fun n gun, wildcat, wing t all of these got figured out. Now the west coast offense hasn't been figured out yet because there are so many variations of it.

He has not been unstoppable. If that were the case then he would be going undefeated all the time.

What I admire most about AU, is that they could be loosing by 21 late in the 4th....but they play as if they believe they are going to win. They just chip away at the run game and pound down hill while never forgetting that they are going to win. I hope CBJ with our new recruits, plays in a similar way.

Limited. For a half.

It can't be stopped for the entirety of a game. They put up 43.

It looks unstoppable now, but I don't think it will last either. People have started to figure out the Oregon riddle, they will this as well.

....and let's not forget, in any other season Auburn would have lost to Bama and UGA this year.
