I wrote last week about Auburn fans wanting the old Gus Malzahn back. He must have heard we’d been missing him.
What we saw Saturday was new wrinkle after new wrinkle, new ways to disguise the same thing. The pedal was to the metal. Runs went inside and outside. Passes went short, deep, and in between.
Gus Malzahn and Chip Lindsey rented out space inside Kirby Smart’s brain for three hours Saturday afternoon.
Combine all that with a flat out nasty defenses and you get Auburn 40 Georgia 17.
Saturday afternoon was a statement to the college football world and to the Auburn fan base: Gus Malzahn got his swing back, and he’s not going anywhere.
