Only one season
removed from a National Championship
Game appearance, the Tigers
now find themselves looking
for a new quarterback to replace
Nick Marshall, a new set of
running back and a new center
to replace All-American Reese
Dismukes. Receiver Sammie Coates
already decided to bolt for
the NFL and now Auburn fans
wait to hear if the same fate
is in store for D'haquille Williams.
That's a good chunk of offense
gone. If any coach was capable
of plugging new faces into the
system Gus Malzahn is that guy.
It's a unique hurry-up system
built around H-Backs blocking
and quarterbacks making good
reads. The formula won't change.
The faces will. The defense
has eight starters coming back
where there is plenty of room
for improvement. This group
just cannot afford the same
dismal lapses where scoring
44 points wasn't enough to get
a win. For these reasons it's
tough to project Auburn into
a better preseason ranking.
The spring will have to reveal
more. |
