Since Gus Malzahn has had a hand in Auburn’s offense, the Tigers’ rushing attack has become one of the most effective and most feared in the conference. It’s been an offense, particularly in 2010 and 2013, that will all but abandon the passing game in favor of demoralizing a defense in the trenches. We’ve seen the Cam Newton and Nick Marshall-led offenses pile up absurd rushing totals on the way to SEC Championships, and we got a bit of a glimpse of that last season as well when the entire offense was healthy.
Something’s still missing.
Auburn’s passing game hasn’t had the same type of clout under Gus Malzahn, but changes seem to be in the works with the addition of Chip Lindsey to the offensive staff.
