Iron Bowl Preview: When Auburn has the Ball

One of the few teams with much consistency in college football over the past 5 years or so, the Auburn Tigers are still running basically the same offense that they instilled with Gus Malzahn as offensive coordinator and then head coach back at the beginning of the decade. They’re one of the most creative teams out there in using multiple TE’s and H-back/fullbacks to execute blocks from unique spots and using pre-snap motion to disguise a fairly simple power rushing attack.

In standard situations, Auburn pretty much always runs some variant of an iso read option, inverteed veer, quick screen, or a vertical shot, with various amounts of deception and motion before and during each play.
